The Raft

My lady wants to know
Why my love don’t seem to grow
But even the bluebird
Knows it ain’t so
And if these walls had wings
And flew away with everything
We’d sail into the sea
With the wind and the leaves
So on this raft we’ll float
From morning till night time’s cloak
No need for a weighted rope
Still waters, still waters lay still
When I’m alone
I’m not alone
When you’re alone
You’re not alone
My love
So put your hand in mine
As the years pass on like a sigh:
A rose that will never die
Or wilt, by and by, by and by
