Wooden Boat

A little boy, me, went fishing in a wooden boat

Sitting there for hours in the cold

Patience is a virtue till we die

Then a ripple in the water caught my eye

Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for

And that's the time to be the first one on the dance floor

We go from green to blue to gold to black

Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last

Only was last week I learned to drive

I stole my mother's keys and drove all night

Christy never showed, it's 4 AM

I started up Mum's car,  drove home again

Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for

That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor

We go from green to blue to gold to black

Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last

One year ago, I've kissed my bride

Now I wait to hear my baby's cry

Woman showed me all that she knew then

Had to cut himself down, man's born again

Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for

And that's the time to be the first one on the dance floor

We go from green to blue to gold to black

Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last

Christine died, and now I'm here alone

What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat

Ooh, yeah

For once in my life

I couldn't deny

I thought that I found my everything

A lover, a friend

The hours we'd spend

Just doing nothing at all

Yeah, but y'all need to leave

It's yours alone

Break free, let go

Butterfly, fly

Fly away from here

I know we tried, tried

Through the laughter and the tears

You'll always be a part of me

And in my heart, you'll always be

Butterfly, fly

Fly away, fly away

Deep in your eyes

It's there that I find

All that I really ever need

Whatever I do, you know that it's you

Girl, in every face I see, yeah

Your last goodbye

Was yours alone

Break free, let go

Butterfly, fly

Fly away from here

I know we tried, tried

Through the laughter and the tears

You'll always be a part of me

And in my heart, you'll always be

Butterfly, fly

Fly away

To the place you belong

Hope you hear and feel this song

Hope that you could find the freedom

In you life

In your life

My sweet butterfly

Just fly away

Just fly away

I know we tried, tried

Through the laughter and the tears

You'll always be a part of me

In my heart, you'll always be

Butterfly, fly

Fly away, fly, fly away

Once in my life

I couldn't deny

I thought that I found my everything

A lover, a friend

The hours we'd spend

Just doing nothing at all

For once in my life

I couldn't deny

Thought that I'd found my everything

Once in my life

I couldn't deny

Thought that I'd found my everything

Thought that I'd found my everything

Thought that I'd found my everything
