THE BLUE WATER

Push the boat off from the shore
I've never been this far before
Who knows what lies beyond?
Out of sight of anyone

Reel me in
I'll take the bait
For I've no time to sit and wait
I've found out what I've waited for
It's out there on some distant shore

It's out there on the blue water
And who knows what lies so deep?
You'll always be your mother's daughter
You'll always have your father's heart to keep
But think of me sometimes

I've never been where I couldn't stand
Always kept my feet upon dry land
Always kept the Great Bear overhead
And now you rock the cobwebs off my bed

Make it last
I'll take the bait
For I've no time to sit and wait
I've found out what I've waited for
And tasted once I want it more

It's out there on the blue water
And who knows we lie so deep?
You'll always be your mother's daughter
You'll always have someone else to please
But dream of me sometimes

Remember all the days that you've been mine
Lying on my bed our arms entwined
And now our futures lead us on
But please don't ever think that I am gone

I'm out there on the blue water
I'll always be my father's son
Out there on the blue water
You'll always be the only one
So think of me sometimes
