Story Behind The Song
The hook for this song came from another that I originally wrote as 'therapy' when I had trouble coming to terms with the 2004 tsumami, called 'Boat to take me home'. That original song was too sad to ever be recorded (I couldn't sing it without crying),

Lyrics
Boat to Take You Home
Close your eyes to the driving storm
And I will give you shelter
From the brazen rain that plays on your face
Through the dark night I?ll keep you warm
And we will find the answer
To the way the wind blows out of this place
It?s only here your sun don?t shine
But if you turn to mine
Chorus
I?m your boat to take you home
When you?re tossed at sea
Lost your dreaming
Your boat to take you home
Put your faith in me
And we?ll be leaving soon
Picture now where your spirit lies
And we will dream together
?Til your soul believes you?re already there
Wipe the teardrops that sting your eyes
Tears will serve no purpose
But to drain your hope and dampen your hair
Where there is pain you can?t see through
I will come to you
Chorus
This journey seems long
The waves seem so high
But it all falls away
When you learn to fly
Oh oh
I?m your boat to take you home
When you?re tossed at sea
Lost your dreaming
Your boat to take you home
Put your faith in me
And we?ll be leaving
Your boat to take you home
When you?re tossed at sea
Lost your dreaming
Your boat to take you home
Put your faith in me
And we?ll be leaving soon
