Lyrics
Boat's in the water, sail's in the sky
Everybody's happy, I don't know why
Seems they left all their worries back on the land
I hear the water does that, to a man.
Main sail flapping, rigging sings
A sweet chorus of ding, ding, ding
Nothing before me and nothing behind
Just the open water, clear sky and mind
Wind she's blowing, we're making good time
It's a little bit wet here, but we're all fine
Two more good days, of holding this line1
Palm trees are calling, lobster and wine...
Nothing before me and nothing behind
Just the open water, clear sky and mind
Boat's in the water, sail's in the sky
Everybody's happy, I know why
Seems we left all our worries back on the land
I hear the water does that, to a man.
I hear the water does that, to a man
