To Build A Boat

[Verse 1]
Amy, go put on your coat
I promised I’d build you a boat
And I pray each day that it may stay afloat
Amy, go put on your coat

Amy, this wind is too still
And we’ve got a sail to fill
I’ve not a doubt, further out, that it will
Amy, this wind is too still

[Chorus]
Darling, there’s rocks to the west
Oh and I can’t shake this ache in my chest
Morning is dawning, it comes without warning
It’s best that we’re going now, better start rowing now

[Verse 2]
Amy, let’s drift out to sea
And trust there’s a gust in the breeze
Leave both the oars on the shore when we leave
Amy, let’s drift out to sea

Amy, we ain’t coming home
I’ve packed up the things that we own
If anyone rings there’s a note on the phone
Saying Amy, we ain’t coming home

[Chorus]
Darling, there’s rocks to the west
Oh and I can’t shake this ache in my chest
The morning is dawning, it comes without warning
It’s best that we’re going now, best that we're going now
Best that we're going now, better start rowing now

[Chorus]
Darling, there’s rocks to the west
Oh and I can’t shake this ache in my chest
The morning is dawning, it comes without warning
It’s best that we’re going now, best that we're going now
Best that we're going now, you better start rowing now
