The Boat

There's a boat that is all mine 
That waits for me under a tall pine 
Not much to look at not much to see 
When it's just the two of us I feel so free 
Over the water all through the waves 
Ripples of peace for me it saves
Away I go off to ponder 
The open lake is mine alone I wander 
Listen as the waves hit the bow 
I seize the day here and now 
Away from it all and everyone 
I feel so alive, oh what fun
A storm looming time to head in
Time for my boat to wait again
