Fishing Boat Lyrics

Free as the wind on the ocean
Wild as the rain in the storm
Immense out on the grand horizon
As a thunderhead taking form

Turn in with the stars on the water
Rise with the tides in the dawn
Be your own boss for the summer
Seize the moment before it's gone

Sixteen on a fishing boat
Learning to float

Some who keep their secrets like treasure
Some who tend to cling to the coast
No one who can stand staying landlocked
For longer than a month at most

Free as the churn of thе riptide
Free as a wreck in the drift
Nothing's еver promised to anyone
Everything you get is a gift

Sixteen on a fishing boat
Learning to float

Learning to swim
Learning how to tread water
Learning how to raise our cries to the skies
Like seals to the slaughter

Still as the sky on the ocean
Mute as the moon overhead
Me and Peter Balkan and you, friend
Everybody else is dead

Turning where the rain won't reach us
Rise with the sun all alone
Be your own boss for the summer
Just once before you're grown

Sixteen on a fishing boat
Sixteen on a fishing boat
Sixteen on a fishing boat
We are learning to float
