Yoko Ono - Toyboat (with Antony Hegarty & Hahn Rowe) by Yoko Ono published on 2011-04-04T09:45:34Z Why do people keep laughing at desert island jokes? That is because, secretively, we are all desert islands. The desert island joke that I laughed at until there were tears in my eyes (now that's a tricky one!) was the one where a guy was waving frantically to a small ship in the distance. The ship came very near and it was still small. He picked it up. It was a toy ship. How many ships came near me turned out to be toy ships. - Yoko Ono, This is Not Here Show, Everson Museum, Syracuse, New York, October 1971 <b>TOY BOAT</b> I’m waiting for a boat to help me out of here Waiting for a boat to help me out The boat that reached my shore was a toyboat Waiting for a boat to help me out I’m dreaming of a lake I’ve never seen before Dreaming of a lake I’ve never seen The lake I’ve seen last was a picture lake Dreaming of a lake I’ve never seen You who are You who are Help me out, help me out, help me out of here. I’m thinking of a castle on top of the hill Thinking of a castle on top of the hill The castle I’ve been to was full of flies Thinking of a castle on top of the hill You who are You who are Help me out, help me out, help me out of here I wrote this song after John's passing. Things were very hard for me. I had to survive for me and my son. So one day, I wrote this song, on the white piano John gave me for my birthday. I didn't write my songs on the white piano so much. So I wonder now, if John was telling me to do this - "ASK FOR HELP, YOKO!" Maybe. I quickly wrote and sung the song hoping that some help would come. What came was more attack than help. But since I am still here, I must have received enough help to have survived. I feel very thankful. love, yoko - Yoko Ono 29 May 2011 Genre Rock Comment by ozgrrlutopian It has become more beautiful..how can that be :) 2014-12-02T09:15:17Z Comment by Amber.Tse Awesome great!!

Our dreams are stronger that reality sometimes.. God bless you Yoko! 2011-05-27T15:33:39Z Comment by Oorlab splendid chords D - Am Gm D - 2011-04-05T22:25:23Z
