lyrics

Leaf Boat Dreams ©2016 Chris Conway

When I was a child, with my best friend
We'd play by a stream til the summer's end.
Make boats from leaves and follow their path.
Through the calms and the rapids and the aftermath.
We'd give each boat a magic name,
Our minds would live inside the game
Imagine we were captains on he deck.
Be it a wondrous voyage or sinking wreck.

chorus
On a winding stream.
Launch a leaf a boat.
Follow it to see how long it floats.
How will it fare?
You'll never know,
Til you fill it with your dreams.
And let the boat go.

When I was young plans filled my heart.
Always was problem, where to start?
So many roads, so little time.
Years I wasted, making up my mind.
The cards are dealt it is your turn,
So many things you've still to learn
But there comes a time to woman and man.
When the time must come to play your hand.

chorus

bridge
Many many leaves are sure fall.
The waters wont sink them all.
Many boats launched from the shore.
Sail a dream never sailed before.

I'm older now and can confide.
Everyday it's getting harder to decide.
What is the truth, and what are lies?
What is foolish, what is wise?
Toss a coin into the air,
And suddenly find out that you care.
I've not changed I understand
I'm a still a child with a leaf boat in my hand
