Boat Lyrics - Singles - Zoë Phillips

If photographs could tell a story, 

would these postcards be in black and white? 

Shaded by the leaves that bind so freely 

Cracks in the trees let through the light 

Do the trees whisper on the sidewalk? 

Do the waves in the water talk? 

[Refrain] 

If I sketch out an atlas on the lake skin 

drift as wood as I wait 

If I take back the compass to the water 

would I find you or would it be too late? 

Should I put the flash on the camera? 

I'd be scared for it all flicker by 

As we floated in the glitter of the mirrior 

I didn't expect your reflection in the sky 

Do the trees whisper on the side walk? 

Do the waves in the water talk? 

[Refrain] x2
