Small Soul Sailing

By Eddi Reader

On Driftwood

It looked like thirteen

Chew on your nails like that

And there’s nothing I can do

But to watch you cower

Many times I’ve wanted to take it from you

You’re bitter, better still

And all the stars I’ve seen fall

And all the ones who call me to their side

To analyse how much better they are

Come sail with me

Come sail through those open waters

We’ll chart a course

To take us safe, safely home

And to the bad man

Say something small

Oh and the thoughts you hold

Small soul

Come sail with me

Come sail through these open waters

We’ll chart a course

To take us safe, safely home

Home

Come sail with me

Come sail through these open waters

We’ll chart a course

To take us safe, safely home
