The wind knocked me down, well it blew me right over, |
|
I said to myself, when I'm older, |
|
I'll lie, alone in the night, |
|
And dream of a land where I'm king, and my soldiers, |
|
The cares that they bring, no more broad than my shoulders, |
|
And light, as small things are light, |
|
Small and vast I'm on an island, |
|
Small and fast upon the sea, |
|
Small and vast I'm on an island, |
|
A boat at home on the sea, |
|
The wind knocked me down, well it blew me right over, |
|
I said to myself, when I'm older, |
|
I'll lie, alone in the night, |
|
And dream a more grand rambling dream, |
|
Where the load of the world is a boat, and I am the rower, |
|
And time's a shore left behind, |
|
Small and vast I'm on an island, |
|
Small and fast upon the sea, |
|
Small and vast I'm on an island, |
|
A boat at home on the sea, |
|
And oh I'm not drifting away... |
|
The wind knocked me down, well it blew me right over, |
|
I said to myself, when I'm older, |
|
I'll lie, at home in the night. |
