The Green Boat. English Bossa Nova +

I wish that I could turn back time, Barefoot days, the salty skies. We built our castles in the tide, But nothing broke down deep inside. The world was wide, and we were free, No walls, no chains, just endless sea. We chased the wind, we touched the sky — Now all I chase is reasons why. We drew our dreams into the sand, Not knowing time would change our plans. We floated in that old green boat, Before the tide pulled down the coast. The world was wide, and we were free, No walls, no chains, just endless sea. We chased the wind, we touched the sky — Now all I chase is reasons why. Close your eyes, and you might see, The child you were, still wild and free. The green boat waits beyond the shore... But not the way it did before. The world was wide, and we were free, No walls, no chains, just endless sea. We chased the wind, we touched the sky — Now all I chase is reasons why. Oh, the green boat waits beyond the shore... But not the way it did before.
