boat dreams from the hill

boat on a hill

never going to sea

anchored to a fixer upper's dream

this boat is beat

never gonna be a boat now

thirsty sees the sea from high on ice plant

he keeps patching it and painting

thinking about his pension plan

but the boat is out to pasture

seems it never had a chance

i wanna be a boat

i wanna learn to swim

and then i'll learn to float

then begin again

i wanna be a boat

i wanna learn to swim

and then i'll learn to float

then begin again

boat remembers the carpenter's sure hand

missing fishy flutter on it's rudder

sold at an auction

on a dolly ever since

sometimes rainy days drop boyish wonder

he keeps patching it and painting

thinking about his pension plan

but the boat is out to pasture

seems it never had a chance

i wanna be a boat

i wanna learn to swim

and then i'll learn to float

then begin again

i wanna be a boat

i wanna learn to swim

and then i'll learn to float

then begin again
