Am
Build me a boat deep in your heart,
       C                  G                       Am
On the currents of your soul, I will row, I will chart
Am  
My journey will be, this story my own
        C               G                  Am
As we wander side by side into the great unknown


Am  
Throw me a bone, cast me a line
          C                    G                   Am
Light my cigarette and I will open your bottle of wine
Am
But I won't taste a drop, won't make a scene
       C                     G                      Am
I will live my life on the edge of that gorgeous ravine


CHORUS:
    E  G          C              D
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
   E      G          D                    C         Am
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone



Sing me a tune about me and you 
Sing of the holy road and the phases of the Aries moon
But don't string me along, don't shelter me where I stand
Yeah, I know what it's like to be the one with the hammer in your hand

CHORUS:
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
My baby the sun

So, build me a boat deep in your heart
Hold me there forever more, long after we part
'Cause I'm reading the birds, walking a line
You will live in me, my darlin', till the end of time

CHORUS:
But oh, would it be to hold the sun?
Oh, it aint me, your light shines down on everyone
My baby the sun
