BOTE

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now I pray lord please help me right This ship today Cause I can't take much more Of this strain on my battered hull. I thought I was tough I thought I was strong Thought I could handle anyone who came along Thought the worth of a boat in how well it floats And this old boat won't float for long with all these holes So I grab both sides with iron will It's fit for war but weighs too much and starts to fill Now I'm clutching the sides as long as I can It's much too cold to swim And much too deep to stand. When I started off down this path I was well aware of the facts And despite the proof I have vowed to choose I continue bearing these (?) I thought I was quick as smart as a whip I guess I met my match But stiffen up, my lip. My wit's getting weak The sea's on the rise And here I sit exposed atop the lying side I thought I was tough I thought I was strong But I can't stay aboard this sinking ship for long I thought I was quick Smart as a whip I guess I met my match this time I'll take my leave. And when (?) comes to shore And I feel like enough's enough And despite the shit-storm that's pounding my home I walk outside and set off. Oh sea legs please don't fail me now Oh sea legs please don't fail me now --- Bote - Menomena
