No Time to Think - Boats You'll Never Row 4/17 Lyrics

Precious imbecile
Are those the words you'll really choose?
How can you act so confident
You have nothing lose

Your imitations poor
I feel you should know
And it looks like it's time
Time for me to go

Cuz once I'm gone I'm gone
And it will be for long
And all we'll think about
Is where we went wrong

There was something you asked me
Something you didn't know
The tables have turned
Because I say so
There was belief I had in you so long ago
Captaining boats you'll never row

There was a letter you were going to write
But you didn't know the words
You always talked about intention
So sweet and absurd

And once I am gone for long
The foxes and the fawns
With their ears perked
Will wake to the dawn

There was something you asked me
Now you'll never know
I thought I saw your face
But it must have been a ghost
There was a dream I had so very long ago
You captaining boats that you'll never row

There was a ponder I had
Now it's buried in snow
I thought I saw your face
It was just hope
I was standing proudly with you in tow
Captaining boats I'll never row
