LYRICS:
His boat's adrift and
the oars are on the beach
The tide's in charge
If it tun now him nevah would reach
Long time since him boat deh pon the land
Him a nap Inna it and
Never notice the movement of the sand
Deep asleep in a dream where he acts on any whim
Suddenly him wake to see the earth gone out from under him.
Now his boat's adrift and the oars are on the beach
The tide's in charge
If it turn now him nevah would reach.
The waves dem a crash in a riddim on the shore
But him deh yah sea and can't hear them anymore
Him rise and fall with every swell
So high he can feel heaven
So low him deh ya at the brink of hell.
Him boat's adrift and the oars are on the beach
The tide's in charge
If it turn now him nevah would reach.
His moves must be positive and strong
Or the water will carry him far away before too long
He must rely on the current to carry him in
Or dive over the side into the churning brine
And swim
His boat's adrift and the oars are on the beach
The tide's in charge
If it turn now him nevah would reach.
