A Boat on the Sea Lyrics

There's a lamp that won't light
In my poetry room,
And children out playing,
And a big full moon.
My man's barricaded there in his womb.
He'll be coming out soon.
I remember when I met him,
He blew in like the wind.
No one was more beautiful
Or dangerous than him.

He blew through my soul
Like a tangerine wind.
He'll be coming out soon.

I never knew I
Was built so strong.
My heart,
My heart is a boat on the sea.
I never thought I
Was built for hurricanes.
My heart,
My heart is a boat on the sea.

Luxury looms on a fog bound day,
I'm not alone now and I'm not afraid.
I'm clean and I'm free. It's all stripped away.
My debts are paid.
I wonder if he ever looks down on the sea
And thinks about the time
He spent with me.
I know everything's exactly how it has to be.
All's right with this world.

I never knew I
Was built so strong.
My heart,
My heart is a boat on the sea.
I never thought I
Was built for hurricanes.
My heart,
My heart is a boat on the sea.

In the cold and the dark,
You're the grace of my heart.
In the cold and the dark,
You're the grace of my heart.
In the cold and the dark,
You're the grace of my heart.
