David Gray - Last Boat to America
Make me a boat
Away I’ll float
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
There’s nothing here to hold me now
And I got no more tears to cry
Grant me a wish just one more kiss
Oh baby kiss me till the daylight’s through
These days of make believe
But there ain’t nothing any fool can do
Pin another dream on my
’cos the night is bearing down
Baby let’s got all the way this time
Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth
I got some trouble trying to understand
Beneath the veils of mystery
Are these the movements of an unseen hand
Our arms are full of sunken treasure baby
Now our heads are full of perfect sound
But do we truly see it hey
Till we’re placing it in the ground
Take just what you need from me
’cos the night is bearing down
Baby let’t go all the way this time
Frost on my windowpane is forming
Don’t pin that line on me oh no
Don’t pin that line on me oh no
Don’t pin that line on me oh no
Don’t pin that line on me oh no
Baby let’s go all the way this time
Won’t you take me all the way this time
Baby let’s go all the way this time
Make me a boat
Away I’ll float
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
