Split Enz - Six Months In A Leaky Boat Lyrics
When I was a young boy I wanted to sail 'round the worldThat's the life for me, living on the seaSpirit of a sailor circumnavigates the globeThe lust of a pioneer will acknowledge no frontierI remember you by thunderclap in the skyLightning flash, tempers flare, 'round the horn if you dareI just spent six months in a leaky boatLucky just to keep afloatAotearoa, rugged individual glisten like a pearlAt the bottom of the worldThe tyrany of distance didn't stop the cavalierSo why should it stop me? I'll conquer and stay freeAh come on all you lads, let's forget and forgiveThere's a world to exploreTales to tell back on shoreI just spent six months in a leaky boatSix months in a leaky boatShipwrecked love can be cruelDon't be fooled by her kindThere's a wind in my sails, will protect and prevailI just spent six months in a leaky boatNothing to leaky boat
