lyrics

On mornings like this
I'm glad I knew her
All the masts shrouded in mist
Remind me of Julia

How one day soaked in sudden rain
Her nipples stood out
Like moles in a whack-a-mole game

At the boatyard
It's dark out but I'm not blue
Sad and happy to look at the past
Lovingly and playfully

We broke in me and Julia
We broke in and we rowed to the island
The rain came down
Our shirts went see-through
We fell about and
Let go of the pain

If you don't know what I'm talking about
How are you supposed to sing along?
Just a boatyard to the layman
But we changed all that
We broke in

We broke in me and Julia
We broke in and we rowed to the island
The rain came down hard
Our clothes went see-through
We fell about and
Let go of the pain
Julia became
The catch of the day.
