lyrics

I am a stacked deck you’re bound to fail
A bad check that’s lost in the mail
But i got the address of the sender
If i have to ill secure a reliable lender

And buy two fists full of marine grade screws
A few basic tools, sheet of canvas strong and true
To the sea i will never surrender
I got 200 Lbs of usable timber.

By my life with the wind in my sails
I will reach your shore i will not fail
And at our embrace you will remember
The love that we had before the long cold winter

Tides and storms rock us back and forth
And everyone must find their own true north
Though my boat be sinking in splinters
Ill swim if i have to there’s no thing i wont endure

Just to get to you, just to get to you.
if its the last thing i do, baby i will get to you.
