Lyrics: Mark Olson. The Salvation Blues. Poor Michael's Boat.


Poor Michael's boat is taking in water
That won't surprise some of you
He set off with so many big plans
Ain't it funny how big plans fall through

Still I trust in one moment there with you
Know when that's a chance I will take
[Incomprehensible] I still got away in poor Michael's boat

I will for my love dress made of linen
With diamonds and pearls
Same for me, how little [Incomprehensible] left you
Away from the shore

Still I trust in one moment there with you
Know when that's a chance I will take
[Incomprehensible] I still got away in poor Michael's boat

Just you take a walk down by little church
See the red face in the sun
Know that when you walk in his name
There goes you and the one with grace and love

Still I trust in one moment there with you
Know when that's a chance I will take
[Incomprehensible] I still got away in poor Michael's boat

Poor Michael's boat is taking in water
That won't surprise some of you
Poor Michael's boat is taking in water
That won't surprise some of you
