Lyrics

NEVER DID BELONG

There’s a boat out on the ocean
Boat rockin’ out in the sea
& I still come down to the water
Cause you never came back to me

My sweet Bonnie boy
My sweet lovin’ child
Out there across the waves I know
You’re letting your heart run wild

You never did belong
You never did belong
No chains, no shackles
No love to hold
Cause you never did belong

I saw your name in the paper
I still have your record in a sleeve
& I still don’t know where you came from
But I remember watching you leave

Out there on the horizon
Where the cool edge meets the sky
That’s where I’m going drifting
& I don’t have to say goodbye

Cause I never did belong
I never did belong
No chains, no shackles
No love to hold
Cause I never did belong
