the 77s - the boat ashore (live at christ church, 11/3/99) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
woke up in the morning, and it felt like the black of night
stumbled out of bed, tripped on my bible, stumbled over the light
blinded by the break of day, i shut my eyes, i was alone
couldn’t say my prayers, good god almighty, where’s my telephone?

[pre-chorus 1]
and now i know
now i know
know what you meant when you told me
you wanted to hold me

[chorus]
hold me
(take my hand and lead)
hold me forever
(walk this land with me)
hold me and never
(i’ll be there, don’t leave)
tell me you’ll ever
(for forever)
let me go

[verse 2]
no, i didn’t know, i didn’t understand the plan you had for me
and it isn’t that i don’t believe, i do believe that you love me
yeah, but how do i reciprocate when i know there’s nothing good in me?

[pre-chorus 2]
say it’s so
say it’s so
say it ’til i really hear it
when you say, “don’t fear it, let go”

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
hold me
(take my hand and lead)
hold me forever
(walk this land with me)
hold me and never
(i’ll be there, don’t leave)
tell me you’ll ever
(for forever)
let me go

[bridge 1]
crash me, wash me on your sh-r-
drifted way too far from my moorings and more
overboard the oars went, relentless was the roll
of the restless sea, set me free from its treacherous shoal

[guitar solo]

[bridge 2]
take my hand, and we will play
walk this land with me today
i’ll be here, don’t be afraid
for forever
and a day

[verse 3]
now that i have run this boat ash-r-, please don’t let me go
now i know, i know you, i know you like never before
you wait, you wait, you waited for me, now i know

[outro]
now i know
now i know
i know, i know, i know, i know you, hey

[spoken outro]
thank you.
