Lyrics
For the first while it is a bit painful
For I can see the one I like getting smaller as we drift
But eventually they are out of sight
And new sites catch the eyes

The water is moving
It is always moving
And I am alone in this boat
I am in this boat alone

All interaction is in passing
No one has an anchor
Everyone is drifting
Even if someone comes on board and joins me
So I will have some lasting company
It will then be the two of us together
Waving as we watch everyone else leave

But maybe this is why we get married
To have at least one who never will leave
So that once everyone else is out of sight
I have someone other them me to look at
