A little boat in the harbor
tied with two ropes
one is her dreams
the other her hopes

her whole world's this cove
and what storms may occur
the two lines hold her fast
calm and unperturbed

one day the sky turned black
the wind tossed the sea
and somehow or another
one line broke free

that little boat was set adrift
everything all turned around
home was far and far was home
light dark and quiet sound

one rope gone
but still in the slip
she kept it together
keepin short trips

then light failed again
the temperature dropped
and once more she began to roll
on that rolling, misty chop

she watched in disbelief
as that last rope broke
nothing left to hold her fixed
all wind and salt & diesel smoke

that little boat was set adrift (set adrift)
everything all turned around (turned around)
home was far and far was home
light dark and quiet sound

that little boat was set adrift (set adrift)
everything all turned around (turned around)
home was far and far was home
light dark and quiet sound

Two Lines
