Gondolier

I caught you by the boats at night
 Satchels bobbing in the tide
 I knew, I felt my words desert me
 I caught you where the boats get tied
 Off to live a different life
 I knew, I felt myself get angry
 I caught you where the boats sail off
 Like you tied me to the dock
 I fold, I felt the world desert me
 I caught you where the boats get gone
 Waterline slow rise above
 My neck, like all the water burning
 But in that fire you caught my gaze
 Put a hand up to my face
 "Get in, you know you're coming with me."
 We left the other boats behind
 Old town bobbing in the tide
 I knew that you would not desert me
 I caught you by the boats at night
 Satchels bobbing in the tide
 I knew, I felt my words desert me
 I caught you where the boats get tied
 Off to live a different life
 I knew, I felt myself get angry
 But in that fire you caught my gaze
 Put a hand up to my face
 "Get in, you know you're coming with me."
 We left the other boats behind
 Old town bobbing in the tide
 I knew that you would not desert me
 I knew that you would not desert me
