lyrics

When will my boat quit rocking,
Im unsteady as it is, and the butterflies are heavy,
fluterrin inside my head
And I may be getting older, but I’m better in a storm
I’ve got sunlight in my belly,
And it always keeps me warm

She was born, in the middle of summer,
In the peace of the evening, out of the blue,
And your words, they fall right off her back,
Her dad is a mountain, her mother’s the moon

Im gonna dance, but not for you
I got my hands, on my body,
Im gonna dance, but not for you,
I got my hands, on my body

And I just met a woman, who told me of a place,
She said that theres a river, thats as infinite as space,
And that rivers overflowing,
can’t ya hear it underground
Everything you’re needing, can so easily be found

She was born, in the middle of summer,
In the peace of the evening, out of the blue,
And your words, they fall right off her back,
Her dad is a mountain, her mother’s the moon

Im gonna dance, but not for you
I got my hands, on my body,
Im gonna dance, but not for you,
I got my hands, on my body

And if you find that swallow singing sweetly,
In the quiet peaceful evening,
Let her drink the river from your palms
