Craft Bewildered

Ai---------------- AI-----------------
Lost in the mangroves waiting for that tree to grow
All hot and sweaty last week was ice and snow - My
Mind and heart are singing cause I’m homeward bound
But babe my craft has foundered I am gone to ground
Ai-------------- AI--------------
Breakdown!
I’m going round the world get back to you
Never felt like this my body’s all confused
You done stole all my sense, but I know a thing or two
One is making love the other’s making do so
Ai------------------ AI-------------
Gonna cut me a plank to fill this splintered hole
Oh my mast is shivering, bless my soul
You got me all bewildered, God above
But when I get back to you you gonna get all my love
Ai--------- AI----------------
Breakdown!
I could not find my hands in the morning light
Cause I was carving timber through the night
My ragged flag is flying I’m grinning to the bone
So open up your arms, babe I’m coming home
Ai--------- AI-------------- Breakdown!

Song Notes

Tried so hard to do innuendo, but we have loved mangroves since camping in the florida keys in the scouts at 14years old. Something magical about the dense roots poking out above the water, and as we kayaked through them, all we could think of was how these trees survived in such acrid water. All we know how to do is make love and make do.
