James Vincent McMorrow - If I had a Boat video

A video I made to accompany the beautiful song by Dublin born singer songwriter James Vincent McMorrow from his debut album "Early in the Morning". The images are from the 1999 animated version of Hemmingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" by Aleksandr Petrov. www.jamesvmcmorrow.com Lyrics : If I Had a Boat verse 1 burn slow, burning up the back wall long roads, where the city meets the sky most days, most days stay the sole same please stay, for this fear it will not die chorus if i had a boat, i would sail to you hold u in my arms, ask you to be true once i had a dream, it died long before now im pointed north, hoping for the shore verse 2 down low, down amongst the thorn rows weeds grow, through the lillies and the vine birds play, try to find their own way soft clay, on your feet and under mine chorus bridge breaking at the seams heaving at the brace sheets all billowing the breaking of the day sea is not my friend seasons they conspire still i choose to swim slip beneath the tide once i had a dream once i had a hope that was yesterday not so long ago this is not the end this is just the world such a foolish thing such an honest girl chorus
