Name: Little Boat
Duration: P00H02M16S
Description: Little Boat: March turned into April; where could you go? The stores stopped being stores, planes were grounded, taxies and subways felt like traps. The whole world seemed like a pool without a lifeguard—swim at your own risk. For a long time, all we could do was hang with our pods, imagine seats for our beloved, live, but absent friends…

lyrics

Words and Music: Cornelius Eady

The wolf is hungry at my door
But Lord, I’m hungry, too.
All I ask is a little boat,
What else can a poor boy do?

Lord, lend me a Little Boat,
For me and my friends to float.

Oh, the time is out of joint,
The tide is rising high.
All I want is a little boat
For me and my friends to fly.

Lord, lend me a Little Boat,
For me and my friends to float.

Maybe the party’s done,
Maybe it’s back some day.
All I need is a Little Boat,
What else can a poor boy say?
