The Boats They Come and the Boats they Go

Lyrics

The boats they come and the boats they go Their bright sails are flashing for Mexico I wonder if someday they'll ever know As they sail on the deep blue sea As they sail on the deep blue sea He used to sit on the cliffs as the sun went down Waving his arms like some colorful clown Calling to the seabirds flying down Over the deep blue sea And he sang: The boats they come and the boats they go Their bright sails are flashing for Mexico I wonder if someday they'll ever know As they sail on the deep blue sea As they sail on the deep blue sea Some thought he was crazy 'cause he said he could fly Some thought he was dangerous from the look in his eye At the most he's just a character constantly high Singing by the deep blue sea And he sang: The boats they come and the boats they go Their bright sails are flashing for Mexico I wonder if someday they'll ever know As they sail on the deep blue sea As they sail on the deep blue sea Now he's gone, his house torn down His white beard's never seen around But children still recall the sound Of music by the sea And they sing: The boats they come and the boats they go Their bright lights are flashing for Mexico I wonder if someday they'll ever know As they sail on the deep blue sea As they sail on the deep blue sea Some thought he was crazy cause he said he could fly He just leaned into life as it went on by And like a sail on the wind oh it carried him high Over the deep blue sea He sang: The boats they come and the boats they go Their bright sails are flashing for Mexico I wonder if someday they'll ever know As they sail on the deep blue sea As they sail on the deep blue sea Yes I wonder if someday they'll ever know As they sail on the deep blue sea Yes I wonder if someday we'll ever know As we sail on the deep blue sea
