The Boat Song

To the left of me's the sketch you drew

And to the right I see that book I lent you

To help you through the night

The black of charcol on my thumbs

But with any luck you'll see the light that comes

From open eyes

It's All Hallow's Eve

Hold my hand

Ahead there's land

We'll row the boat

And leave it on the other shore

Through the wreckage of my college years

I made sure to hold close both my hate and fear

Of letting go

Told you Sunday just how long it's been

You confessed to me fears you'd been holding in

Now we both know

It's all fine with me

Hold my hand

Ahead there's land

We'll row the boat

And leave it on the other shore

Hold my hand

Ahead there's land

We'll row the boat

And leave it on the other shore

Through the fall

Come hell and all

We'll row the boat

And leave it on the other shore
