WHITE BOAT

words+music: m.cutillo
Leaving Germany after 10 years of living there - sitting on the Alster Lake in Hamburg near my apartment - the last year of my stay there til late 2003 I spent my time watching the regattas and daysailers whilst nursing my brain next morning after the party that had no ending the night before on the shore of the lake. A common re-occurance...
White boat, blue sails
Sailing over the horizon line
Just like me and you
Two big units, one small shoe
Red car, white train
Screeching round the corner, disappearing
Like me and you, see you! I'll see you...

Red shoes, blue socks, red hair girl
She said "Hey Matchew won'tcha tell me lies
Say you'll think about stayin' forever ?"- NO WAY
There's a white train
There's a grey airplane leaving for Chicago
Disappearing like me and you
See you - see you in the mirror

If I say I'm thinking bout staying
There ain't no way for me to start trying
If I say I could stay this time
That's just me doing some of my lying
It's time for me to go
Can't hold on keep on trying
It's time for me to go
Don't laugh when you see me
White boat, blue sails
Sailing over the horizon line
Just like me and you
Two large donuts just no clue
There's a white train There's a grey airplane leaving for Rio Rico
Disappearing like me and you
See you in the next life

So long take care see ya
See me cry
sag tschuess - hau rein
mach's gut, mach's besser
Bye
