Words and Music by Lorne Entress
Entress Music, BMI

lyrics

I shove off quietly at dawn
as the dock drifts away
The oarlocks whistle to the birds
till there’s nothing left to say

My back is facing forward
as I glide across the lake
But my eyes are looking shoreward
hypnotized by my wake

A daredevil dangles on the line
his promise never kept
The dismal record of his failures
he never will accept

I put my hand into the water
it’s warmer than the air
and all I care about is a boat that rows
and not where it goes

Oars dip into the water
afraid to swim too deep
And when they rise above the surface
they both begin to weep

So they plunge back in again
ashamed to be seen
Sometimes you just don’t need a reason
to feel so in-between
