Wooden Boat

A little boy and me went fishing in a wooden boat
Sitting there for hours in the cold
Patience is a virtue 'til we die
Then a ripple in the water caught my eyeSometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
And that's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to go to black
Breathe deep, who knows how long this will lastOnly was last week I learned to drive
I stole my mother's keys and drove all night
Christine never showed it's four a.m.
I started up mum's car drove home againSometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to go to black
Breathe deep, who knows how long this will lastOne year ago I kissed my bride
Now I wait to hear my baby's cry
Woman showed me all that she knew then
To cut himself down, man's born againSometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
We go from green to blue to go to black
Breathe deep, who knows how long this will lastChristine died and now I'm here alone
What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat
