Heavenly Boat

«back

Unknown soldier, rolling boulders, dusty eyes
And ancient skies unfolding

Restless nomad waits for no man, sun beats down
On the crown of his forehead

Long black trail from the foothills, watch the clouds
Drifting over sleeping mountains

Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river
Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river

Pots and pans hang upside down in the kitchen
Floating just like copper planets

Warm bread in a wild winter
Moonlight filters through the curtains in her bedroom

Beaded necklace all rolled up like a coiled snake
That’s still awake on the evening table

Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river
Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river

Western stars like silver spurs, riding horses of the Heavens through the canyons

Blinking eyes like windshield wipers,
Salty tears of mermaids, mix into the ocean

My moon sister, I guess I missed her
She was dreaming in the drawing room of space

Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river
Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river
Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river
Take me out, on a heavenly boat that rides the river
