Six Months In a Leaky Boat

When I was a younger man, I wanted to sail 'round the world

That's the life for me, livin' on the sea

Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe

The lust of a pioneer will acknowledge no frontier

I remember you by thunderclap in the sky

Lighting flash, tempers flare, round the horn if you dare

I just spent six months in a leaky boat

Lucky just to keep afloat

Aotearoa, rugged individual

Glisten like a pearl at the bottom of the world

The tyranny of distance didn't stop the cavalier

So why should it stop me, I'll conquer and stay free

Ah, c'mon all you lads, let's forget and forgive

There's a world to explore, tales to tell back on shore

I just spent six months in a leaky boat

Six months in a leaky boat

Shipwrecked love can be cruel, don't be fooled by her kind

There's a wind in my sails, will protect and prevail

I just spent six months in a leaky boat

Nothin' to a leaky boat
