Six Months In A Leaky Boat (T Finn & Split Enz) Lyrics

 When I was a young boy, I wanted to sail around the world
 That's the life for me, living 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
 Lightning 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, lets 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

  --
 Ship-wrecked 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
  Nothing to it leaky boat.
