lyrics

The boathouse

Take me to my lover, so,
And send him home to me.
He’s books on guns inside his hands
And I would set him free.

Oh bring me to the boathouse
So I can smell the sea
Oh bring me to the boathouse
And I would set him free.

I’ll spin a yarn and truth like this
Hold tight onto my keys
And when I come to find him
He’ll need a place to sleep.

Oh bring me to the boathouse
For he is kind to me,
Oh bring me to the boathouse
He’ll need a place to sleep.

Unwind my traps and shackles, foe,
Then tie me up some more.
Of heroes that I read about
I liked him best of all.

Oh bring me to the boathouse
So I will never fall,
Oh bring me to the boathouse
I liked him best of all

Before I saw him singing,
I couldn’t go that far.
From hospitals back home again
To where the sirens start.

Oh bring me to the boathouse
And never break my heart,
Oh bring me to the boathouse
To where the sirens start

(instrumental)

Don’t come too close, my tongue is tied
I cannot be alone.
And find himself inside my head
Of that he’ll never know.

Oh bring me to the boathouse,
We’ll have somewhere to go
Bring me to the boathouse
Of that he’ll never know.

Oh bring me to the boathouse
So I can smell the sea.
He brings me to the boathouse,
For he is kind to me.
