Gary Jules - Boat Song lyrics

Boy when out on a boat tonight Waiting on his lover Seen his mermaid bride in the moonlight And the arms of another She said "standing on the water is easier to do Then to try and be a family living here with you And the more I've been thinking The more I know I'm living alone Now they see him out on the waterways Rolling on the foam Only memory for a future Only ocean for a home 'Cause Amelia's the name that she calls herself these days And "birds! birds!" is all we heard before she flew away And the more I've been thinking The more I know I'm living alone
