A little boy me went
fishing in a wooden boat
Sitting there for hours
in the cold
Patience is
a virtue til we die
Then a ripple in the water
caught my eye
Sometimes we don't know
what we're waiting for
That's the time to be
the first one
on the dance floor
We go from green
to blue to go to black
Breathe deep who knows
how long will this last
Only was last week
I learnt to drive
Stole my mother's keys
and drove all night
Christine never
showed it's 4 am
Started up mum's
car drove home again
Sometimes we don't know
what we're waiting for
That's the time to be
the first one
on the dance floor
We go from green
to blue to go to black
Breathe deep who knows
how long will this last
One year ago
I kissed my bride
Now I wait to hear
my baby's cry
Woman showed me all
that she knew then
To cut himself
down man's born again
Sometimes we don't know
what we're waiting for
That's the time to be
the first one
on the dance floor
We go from green
to blue to go to black
Breathe deep who knows
how long will this last
Christine died
and now I'm here alone
What I wouldn't give
to be on that wooden boat
