The tide is high My heart needs to let go I'll drop it in the depths Now it's anchored far below Now I'm free Free of your hold on me But I feel like a fool A shipwreck on a barstool Singing, I want to be That lonely boat Out on the sea Oh, I want to be That lonely boat Out on the sea And after the storm When the world is quiet Will I embrace the peace Or start a riot? Will I be with my heart once more When it's no longer yours? Will I still be a fool A shipwreck on a barstool? Singing, I want to be That lonely boat Out on the sea I want to be That lonely boat Out on the sea Oh, I'm free Free of your hold on me Because this heart of mine Beats at the bottom of the Mississippi Oh, I'm free Free of your hold on me Because this heart of mine Beats at the bottom of the Mississippi Oh, I want to be That lonely boat Out on the sea Oh, I want to be That lonely boat Out on the sea Out on the sea
