Standard (EADGBE)
Build me a boat deep in your heart,
On the currents of your soul, I will row, I will chart
My journey will be, this story my own
As we wander side by side into the great unknown
Throw me a bone, cast me a line
Light my cigarette and I will open your bottle of wine
But I won't taste a drop, won't make a scene
I will live my life on the edge of that gorgeous ravine
Chorus
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
Sing me a tune about me and you
Sing of the holy road and the phases of the Aries moon
But don't string me along, don't shelter me where I stand
Yeah, I know what it's like to be the one with the hammer in your hand
Chorus
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
My baby the sun
So, build me a boat deep in your heart
Hold me there forever more, long after we part
'Cause I'm reading the birds, walking a line
You will live in me, my darlin', till the end of time
Chorus
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
My baby the sun
