lyrics
I would take a boat, I would take a train,
Darlin if I had the money, I’d buy myself a plane
I unpack my duffel bag a thousand miles away,
I fold up the shirt you stained with berries Christmas day.
I don’t think I’ll ever throw that old rag away
‘Cause it still smells of sweetness of the memories we made
Child you grow so fast, Babies they don’t last,
But I promise one day soon, I’ll be coming back
I would take a boat, I would take a train,
Darling, if I had the money, I’d buy myself a plane
I carry round the rock you found in your mama’s driveway path
The pebble’s pressure in my pocket feels like your laugh
I’d bear the weight of a thousand more til it broke my back,
‘Cause you’re a million more than I could ever ask
Child you grow so fast, Babies they don’t last,
But I promise you forever, forever, I’m coming back
I would take a boat, I would take a train,
Darling, if I had the money, I’d buy myself a
plane
I’m thinking of a time 20 years down the line
It’s not about diplomas or if you’re wearing white
No, your laugh it still rings out, your smile is kind,
And the world is shining brighter, yea the world is shining brighter because of your light
I would take a boat, I would take a train,
Darling, if I had the money, I’d buy myself a
plane
