Green Boat

from Bag of Animals EP by Bluebird Avenue

lyrics

…then you were telling me that you needed time (it was never mine to give)
You said I didn’t listen anymore, or something like that
We were parked down by the water in your car
There was a green boat out in the harbour, tumbling in the waves
Heading out into the ocean, on its own
alone

I took the first place I looked at – always paid my rent on time
Never got around to unpacking most of my things
I wasn’t trying to find myself or anything like that
I rolled into a fog, no hand to keep me steady
No light to lead me home

There was something missing, but I knew it wasn’t you
So waiting on the unknown, and that was nothing new
Rain upon my windshield, pulled up by the sea
Scanning the horizon

GUITAR SOLO

I never did find out what became of you, though I was always sure you’d be ok
(As for me) one too many quiet nights, cigarettes & tired lights
Pondering a green boat, tumbling in the waves, ocean bound, out on the bay.
