On The Water

All the windows are glowing

The branches bending low

The skyline is swinging

Rocking back and forth
Walking down this dirt road

Watching at the sky

It's all I can do

All the years keep rolling

The decades flying by

But…

The days are long

So here's one to the pigeons

And the tugboats on the river

Here's one to you

For walking in my shoes

Oh you know I'd never leave you

No matter how hard I try

You know I'd never leave you

And that's just how it is

But Molly

She's like you

Oh the static

That is in everyone but you

Oh it's funny

To think it through

Everybody

That is deep

Everyone but you

The Walkmen 

I Lost You

Drive on

Drive on

The highway's bright and long

The river's overflowing

The houses burning down

Drive on

Drive on

The engine hums along

We kiss goodbye and drank up

Some mouths before our tongues

We kiss goodbye and drank up

I'll miss you when you're gone

So throw me a line

The windows are shaking and so are my bones

The world's going round

Throw me a rope

The trumpet and trombone

Still echoing in the hall

And bells ringing along the dam

So hang onto me

Hang onto me

The world's going round

And time's cutting out

The headlights are stinging all over the road

Throw me a rope

Throw me a rope

I knew you when I was young

…

I wish you were still along

I waited a long time

All for you

I waited a long time

I lost you

I was sleeping in the backseat

When I got home

…

I lost you

The Walkmen

The walk man

Well they say can't please everyone

But I'm stuck on a winning streak

Well today there's clarity

And tonight I see tomorrow

All at once the winter's here

All the lochs are frozen over

As I look in back of me

See a shape beside the walkway

Half of my life I've been watching

Half of my life I've been waking up

Birds in the sky could warn me

There's no life like the snow life

So for now I'll take my time

For now I can't be bothered

Well I learned a lot of things

And I fudged a lot of numbers

Once again the winter's here

All the lochs are frozen over

So I look in back of me

See a shape beside the walkway

Half of my life I've been watching

Half of my life I've been waking up

The Walkmen
