A Boat

If I had a boat I know just where I'd go I'd leave the Autumn leaves To decay beneath the snow If I had a boat Oh the journey I'd bestow I'd hear the crashing in the breeze Of the waves white-tipped with foam If I had a boat No one could tell me no I'd journey where I please No longer suffer in the cold If I had a boat It wouldn't matter what they know I could get up off my knees I'd pass them by if I chose If I had a boat I'd set sail and be a ghost So surely I would leave And in my place found just this note If I had a boat.
