Words and music by Elle Osborne

lyrics

there was a man lived on the shore
he had a boat moored by
and when the waters rose, he’d go to that boat
and lie back and watch the sky

and tho that boat rarely set sail
he liked how it would drift
tethered by its mooring
on the water’s lift

and his love called to him from the shore
she tried crying and she tried laughing
and he’d hear her
but was listening to the water lapping

and she didn’t want a sailor or a boatman for a lover
and she didn’t want a god or a philosopher
just someone who knew where home was
who could look her in the eye
and stand tall in the storm and not falter
