Little boy me went
fishing in a wooden boat
Sitting there for hours in the cold
Patience is a virtue
till we die
Then a ripple in the water caught my eye.
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep,
who knows how long this will last.
Only was last week
I learnt to drive
Stole my mother's keys and drove all night
Christine never showed it's 4 am
Started up mum's car drove home again.
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep,
who knows how long this will last.
One year ago I kissed my bride
Now I wait to hear my baby's cry
Woman showed me all that she knew then
To cut himself down
man's born again.
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to gold to black
Breathe deep,
who knows how long this will last.
Christine died and now I'm here alone
What I wouldn't give to be
on that wooden boat.
