4. I Watch the Boats

And here is the final one.



Soda Fountain Rag - I Watch the Boats by sodafountainrag



I watch the Boats is a song about me and the view from the windows of my apartment (which I will move from shortly). I think it’s Bergens best view – and with the old borrowed binoculars I look at the boats going to and from Bergen harbour. The binoculars were once borrowed from our first bass player Lars (BinocuLars! nei?ikkje?), they were once his grandfather’s. 




I Watch the Boats

The summer night is friendly and warm
A pirate telescope (only on loan)
I watch the harbour
This boat is called “The Crystal”

You say I never leave my place
I stay inside for days and days
I’ll sell my shoes
I’ll sell my coats
And stay inside and watch the boats

I’ve waited long for my secret boat
It’s like the bus in Ghost World (only it floats)
And when I see it
I guess I’ll know for sure

You say I never leave my place
I stay inside for days and days
I’ll sell my shoes
I’ll sell my coats
And stay inside and watch the boats

Then sail away
Be gone one day
You never heard
I never said a word
When I am gone
Will you be mad?
I didn’t know
I used to make you feel glad

You say I never leave my place
I stay inside for days and days
I’ll sell my shoes
I’ll sell my coats
And stay inside and watch the boats
