In my mother's schoolhouse
I would sit at the kitchen table
And listen to her teach geometry
She taught me about distance
She taught a lesson about a boat that is sailing the sea
Trying to get from point A to B
So the little boat's travelling at full sail
And it's trying to reach the shore
But whenever the boat gets halfway there
There is always halfway more
Take half of half
And half of that
And on and on and so
In my mother's schoolhouse
There is always halfway to go
At the kitchen table
I once folded a paper boat
And floated it down the tabletop
Halfway to my mother
It sailed into her coffee cup
Where she crumpled it up
Threw it away
And told me to stop
So the little boat's trying to get to her
But the table is deep and wide
The lesson I learned from my mother
Was to see the great divide
Take half of half
And half of that
And on and on and so
At the kitchen table
There was always halfway to go
To go
Little boat, big ocean
I'm a girl with a copper spyglass
Who prays that today she will spot her shore
All at once a lighthouse
All at once through the copper spyglass
A light telling me to learn in on the oar
I start to row
But before I can get anywhere
From point A to point B
I am at the kitchen table
Where I'll always be at sea
Take half of half
And half of that
No matter where I row
Little boat big ocean
Little boat big ocean
There is always halfway to go
To go
