Missed The Boat

The river is flowing
You know where you're going now
Swept away by the water, the water

(You could go)
I could of gone with you
(But no)
I dug my heels in the grass
Nothing ever seemed harder, harder

Though you said "come with"
I felt like a heavy load
And hanging on would only anchor you down
So I stood my ground
And missed the boat

I look without leaping
In keeping with that I watched
While you embarked upon the water, the water

(Wave goodbye)
I couldn't stop you
(Why?)
I wouldn't have dared to try
When all I offer is the desert, the desert

Though you said "come with"
I felt like a heavy load
Not half as heavy then as I'm feeling now
Don't know how
I missed the boat

Gone like a summer breeze
He's out in the Seven Seas
Riding the crystal aqua
If ever you learn to swim
He might just pull you in
Happily ever after, after, after

(I go)
I go to the river
(Down there)
Cast my garments aside
(I wade deep)
Dip my body in the cool, cool current
(I close my eyes)
I'm light as a feather
(Then cry)
Oh why does it hurt this much?
To float so gently in the water, the water

Though you said "come with"
I felt like a heavy load
For someone fast as you
It wouldn't be fair
You won't be seeing me again
Cause I missed the boat
But I'll be seeing you everywhere
