Lyrics

A yellowed photo fell from a dusty book
magic of another time
It took me to a place where I once stood
A girl in pig tails looking like a small brave James Cooke
Exploring worlds of light and wonder
Convinced I was captain that summer

A stick held in one hand stirring up the wind
Facing days with turned up chin
I was conquering waves with a huge grin
A girl who wore her laughter like a silver-lace cloak
Waving my hand at all those passing by
Speeding through time standing on my boat (my boat)

And so I went from there
Breathing the cool salty air
I was beating life's drum living a dare
Until I reached Vanity Fair
Lost in vanity fair
Lost in vanity fair

What made me think my adventure had to end
Will I find my way again
I knew that I was safe as long as I stayed
A girl whose face captured the glow;the fire of the sun
Unshakeable when facing the cold
Only room for trust in Daddy's boat

And so I went on from there
Breathing the cool salty air
I was beating life's drum like a dare
Until I reached Vanity Fair
Lost in Vanity Fair

I think it's not too late
Maybe I can find my way
I want to be that girl of long ago
Standing on my boat

My boat
My boat

A yellowed photo fell from a dusty book

Lost in Vanity Fair
Lost in Vanity Fair
My boat
