Generate meaning
1
we gathered up our worldly goods
2
stole off in the dark as quickly as we could
3
you were quieting the baby down
4
when we came to the dock on the outskirts of town
5
and looking back we saw china shrinking to the size of a coin
6
and then we saw water everywhere
7
when we climbed on board
8
they tied our things together with electrical cord
9
and then we set sail
10
as we held on tight to the cold iron rail
11
and I apologize but I don't know what I love more
12
you next to me there or the receding shore
13
we stood there in the cold
14
and the baby was six months old
15
we were passing him back and forth
16
when a cold familiar wind came down from the north
17
and looking back we saw china shrinking to the size of a coin
18
and then we saw water everywhere
