lyrics

Yellow Boat

I came across a yellow boat lying by the river bank like a beached banana
I thought I’d borrow it and float and if by any chance it sank, I’d call it instant karma

Making jetsam of my cares I stretched out fore and aft to sleep perchance to dream
And in my state of unawares that stolen fruit of shallow draft found its own way down midstream

When my skeleton is a tree fallen into the river
When my soul is a twig on its way to the sea
When the memory of who I was begins to wither
Well, never mind – it was enough just to be
On a day like this, on a day like this
Life was a kiss, on a day like this

I came across a yellow boat lying by the river bank
It carried me away
I wish I could have put it back
Eventually it leaked and sank beneath me where I lay
Eventually it leaked and sank beneath me where I lay

When my skeleton is a tree fallen into the river
When my soul is a twig on its way to the sea
When the memory of who I was begins to wither
Well, never mind – it was enough just to be
On a day like this, on a day like this
Life was a kiss on a day like this [x3]

I came across a yellow boat lying by the river bank
It carried me away
