Lyric Six Months In A Leaky Boat (T Finn & Split Enz)

When I was a young boy, I wanted to sail around the world
That s the life for me, living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge no frontier
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare, `round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat

Aotearoa, rugged individual
glisten like a pearl, at the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance, didn t stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me, I ll conquer and stay free
Ah c mon all you lads, lets forget and forgive
There s a world to explore, tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat

--
Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
Don t be fooled by her kind
There s a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it leaky boat.
