Lyrics Cat Stevens – Longer Boats
Text:
Chorus:
Longer boats are coming to win us
They’re coming to win us, they’re coming to win us
Longer boats are coming to win us
Hold on to the shore, they’ll be taking the key from the door.
I don’t want no god on my lawn
Just a flower I can help along
‘Cause the soul of no body knows
how a flower grows… Oh how a flower grows.
Chorus
Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a parson come and take her hand
But the soul of no body knows
Where the parson goes, where does the parson go?
Chorus
Addition verse performed in live version of this song.
Raise your mind up and look around
You can see them, yes they’re looking down
From a lonely asteroid, in a vacant void.
Dyin’, but not destroyed.
