All Aboard

As the shadows start to lengthen And the colors turn to gray The sun concedes its dominance For night it's making way A barque for you is waiting To take you out to sea To sail you to the sunset The captain of it, me Please come aboard my bonny I've made a place for you The best seat on the forward prow The sunset in full view I've got your pink knit slippers And yellow blanket too You'll be warm and comfy cozy As we sail the ocean blue I know the deepest channels The surface smooth as glass The journey will be pleasant Though it won't be very fast Against the tide we're sailing The reason why is clear The longer it takes to get there The longer you'll be here
