Intro

Golden, golden, golden river run

To the East then drop beneath the sun

And as the moon lies low and overhead

We're lost...

Verse 1

Burn slow, burning up the back wall

Long roads, where the city meets the sky

Most days, most days stay the sole same

Please stay, for this fear it will not die

Chorus

If I had a boat, I would sail to you

Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true

Once I had a dream, it died long before

Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

Verse 2

Down low, down amongst the thorn rows

Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine

Birds play, try to find their own way

Soft clay, on your feet and under mine

Chorus

If I had a boat, I would sail to you

Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true

Once I had a dream, it died long before

Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

Bridge

Splitting at the seams

Heaving at the brace

Sheets all billowing

The breaking of the day

Sea is not my friend

And everyone conspires

Still I choose to swim

Slip beneath the tide

Once I had a dream

Once I had a hope

That was yesterday

Not so long ago

This is not the end

This is just the world

Such a foolish thing

Such an honest girl

Chorus

If I had a boat, I would sail to you

Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true

Once I had a dream, it died long before

Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
