The Same Boat Songtext
von Don Henry

She was hurt by her only man
So she split for the southern sands
Once upon a long time ago
Oh how the winds of fate can blow

On the ocean reeling lines
I was working five to nine
Early morning at the pier
I found her there all in tears

What is your story lonely one
Running away you′re not the only one
Cause I've known love to cause some pain
We′re in the same boat the same boat

I'll lend an ear if you lend your name
Cause it seems to me we're in the same boat
Oh oh oh same boat


Gentle words convinced the girl
To take a ride in this sailor′s world
Where the dolphins and sea birds fly
And the day meets a bluer sky
Couple miles off the Gulf Coast shore
She told a tale I had lived before
She had me down to a T
Scary similarities

Standing breathless face to face
The inevitable was taking place
I′ve known love but not like this

We're in the same boat the same boat
I feel forever in your kiss
And it seems to me we′re in the same boat
Oh oh oh same boat

Navigating us back home
We'll never have to steer alone
Again
Billowed by a perfect wind

In the same boat the same boat
Finally our ships come in
And it seems to me it′s the same boat
Billowed by a perfect wind
In the same boat the same boat
Finally our ships come in
And it seems to me it's the same boat
Oh oh oh same boat
