Boat Lyrics by Mountain Man

Magic Ship

2018

I walk down to the river
I walk down to swim
I walk down to the river
Thinking I would jump in

I walk down to the river
I walk down to swim
I walk down to the river
What did I see floating

A boat to sail in oh
A boat to fly
A boat to bear me up
Into the sky
A boat to move me oh
A boat to ride
A boat to take me
To the other side

The breeze was a-humming oh
The breeze was right
The breeze was whispering to the night
The breeze shook the rushes
Oh the breeze did say
It's time to be leaving
Oh, the timing's right

A boat to sail in oh
A boat to fly
A boat to float me up
Into the sky
A boat to move me oh
A boat to ride
A boat to take me
To the other side

The water was talking
Of the water life
The stars were a-beaming
With their ancient light
Damp smells were abundant
As I took the oar
As I pushed off glided
Away from shore

A boat to sail in oh
A boat to fly
A boat to bear me up
Into the sky
A boat to move me oh
A boat to ride
A boat to take me
To the other side

Other side
Other side
Other side
