There is a boat
On the sea
And there's a man
Who's waiting for me
There is a boat
On the sea
And he's begging a desperate plea
And I've been
Singing to him gently
And I've been
Giving him what he needs
There is a boat
On the sea
That the waves are dragging to one knee
There is a boat
On the sea
And there's a man who's coming for me
And I've been
Singing to him sweetly
And I've been
Answering his plea
There is a boat
On the sea
That's sinking terribly
There is a boat
In the sea
And there's a man
Who's drowning for me
And I've been
Gazing at the debris
And I've been
Screaming like a banshee
There is a boat
In the sea
And there's a man
Who's dead because of me
And I've been
Singing hungrily
And I've been
Screeching helplessly
There is a boat
In the sea
And there's a carcass
Between it and me
And I've been
Watching it without sleep
And I've been
Driven to endlessly weep
There is a boat
In the sea
And there are vultures
Between it and me
There is a boat
In the sea
And there is no one
To hear my plea
And I've been
Starving for something
And I've been
Trapped here for eternity
