Rock the Boat

from Book of Man by Rob Marr

/

lyrics

Don’t rock the boat
You’ll let the water in
Don’t rock the boat
You know I can hardly swim

This bed is a boat
That is barely afloat
On the sea of our hopes
We aspire
To soothe and to glide
To the smoothest of rides
But chance and circumstance conspire

Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock
Rock Rock Rock the boat

Nails and teak creak
As honesty seeps
Through the cracks in our compromise
“It might be easier”, you said
“To sail solo instead.
And sometimes it’s kinder to lie”

Don’t rock the boat
You’ll let the water in
Don’t rock the boat
You know I can hardly swim

Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock
Rock Rock Rock the boat

You place your feet on each side of the seat
And you rock with a gleam in your eyes
The whiskey’s the wind in your sails
I bail
And take my chance over the side
