Taking you on a cruise on a rubber boat, trying to get to the golden coast.
The sky is open like an eye that will never close.
I never felt so close - with no place run away,
on a rubber boat with you we were lucky to get away
because these are the days when the land is burning.
Hey, we all make mistakes, so it don’t bother me if you do.
I can see a lonely fighter plane, maybe the only one to make it back.
He’s so high, it must be a thousand miles to the nearest shore
I never felt so sure, with no place to run away,
on a rubber boat with you carried by the waves,
because these are the days, when the land is burning.
Hey, we all make mistakes, so it don’t bother me when you do
and it shouldn’t bother you when I do.
We all saw what they could do, but we never thought they’d follow through.....
These are the days when the land is burning.
Hey, we all make mistakes, so it don’t bother me when you do,
and man, you do, you do
