Seven Years We drifted out to the ocean As the sun went down Where the river runs into it Near my home town Then we paddled our boat back Though a resting flock And we tried to be quiet We didn’t even talk Seven years to write this down You know l miss you when your not around Seven years to hear my heart Beating like wings in the autumn dark Then the full moon came up Like a watchman’s lamp Searchin for the perpetrators Of this peaceful camp And we pleaded our innocence To the startled geese Cause we never ever meant To disturb their peace Chorus Well the wind was against us And the waves were too Then through the darkness you thought You saw a light or two And we made our bearings And we made landfall And we made love in the moonlight To make up for it all Chorus
