Take the Boat Out

I've seen many faces She is hiding what she feels... I see her weary of life From living with the hollow men Grieving and bleeding She is needing a little time to heal... I watched the river flowing And feel that she must know You've got to walk away and safe yourself Before it is too late... I tell her to Take the boat out And let it float out on the lake Set the sail and take the boat out Let it drift away... Let it drift away... I've heard many voices So I know that she can't speak Her words are buried way below The dark and muddy ground Crying and sighing She is dying for a little space to be I watch her image fading Is there nothing I can say? Come one and shout your name out clear and loud Don't let the wild girl sleep... I tell her to Take the boat out And let it float out on the lake Set the sail and take the boat out Let it drift away... Let it drift away...
