The man who died in his boat
He spent a long time
Getting everything ready for his trip
Across the ocean
He made everything ready
He worked hard at that
He had a sound boat
He had everything he needed for his trip
We went to see it when it wrecked
This empty boat
Washed up on the beach
With all his things scattered around it
And all these people standing around
Staring in the windows
The man who died in his boat
He spent a long time
Getting everything ready for his trip
Across the ocean
He made everything ready
He worked hard at that
And he had a sound boat
He had everything he needed for his trip
We went to see it when it wrecked
This empty boat
Washed up on the beach
With all his things
Scattered around it
And these people
Staring in the windows
