about

Our first single and the song James wrote for his mother.
A song about the cycle of reciprocation.
A happy song.

lyrics

Boat Song

I’ll build a bigger boat,
I’ll build a bigger boat
One that won’t capsize
Each, every time you try to stand in it, and I’ll

I’ll build a bigger boat,
I’ll build a bigger boat
You won’t believe your eyes
Oh, so surprised that I can handle it

And when your summer’s gone
Or if someone does you wrong
I’ll zip up your anorak
And when your summer’s gone
Or if someone does you wrong
Pack your lunch and watch your back

And every fairytale found in this head
I’ll tell to you as I tuck you in bed
And every lullaby sung to me
I will sing to you as you go to sleep

And I’ll bring a brighter day,
I’ll bring a brighter
Out on your horizon
You’ll be riding high and smiling

And I’ll bring a brighter day,
I’ll bring a brighter day
Or be your silver lining
If you’re pining all the while, believe me

When your summer’s gone
Or someone does you wrong
I’ll do up your duffel coat
And when your summer’s gone
Or if someone does you wrong
Keep your hopes and dreams afloat

And every fairytale found in this head
I’ll tell to you as I tuck you in bed
And every lullaby sung to me
I will sing to you as you go to sleep

Nothing to fear
And no cause for more tears
You’ll have nothing to fear
And no cause for more tears

And every fairytale found in this head
I’ll tell to you as I tuck you in bed
And every lullaby sung to me
I will sing to you as you go to sleep
