lyrics

Dreamboats are sailing in and out of my harbour
So close and then a little farther
She comes again my friend, bringing me the rain
Showing me the way to laugh and smile and cry and feel the pain again
My house my space my dog my cat my mouse the human race

I was lost on the ocean, drifting away
Weighed down by emotion, with nothing to say
My my look at that sky
Hey hey feel the rain

Over and over and over again I get lost in the pain and I try to be zen
And I try not to judge all the ways that I've been
I try to be true to a new regimen
But before long I feel like a bull in a pen
And I can't stand the way that I fence myself in
So I break all the rules to be happy again
Around and around again and again and again
I'm a chameleon again
I'm a bat in a cave again
I'm a bull in a rage again
And I'm ten years old again
Shiny and bold again
