Feather row the boat stream and turn
Feather row the boat nothing to learn
All the other boats are far away
Featherweighted, your actions say it's impossible

Feather row the boat if you like
On the river you will be allright
Look inside of her to see what is hate
She is sleeping but soon she'll wake
She's impossible

Sails cut right through it
Engines tear into it
Old people fear it
Young children won't go near it
Swim into the starry ocean

Feather row the boat with friends i hope
You were in the sky but now you float
Were you afraid of me when you flew away?
Together we can kiss the ocean spray
So lovable

It's so lovable of me
It's impossible

Before you sleep at night, do you ever think of me?
I often wonder what our years of distance mean
Honestly

Have you looked around to see an opening?
Can you find a way to get here back to me?
Honestly

No, i need a hand to keep this man away from you
I wonder what our years of distance mean to you

When it's late at night do you dance hypnotically
Can you feel my hand swing you gently close to me
Honestly

I try so hard to keep so far away from you
Imagine it's the best i can do for you

Carousel can you slow down and take me on?
I need a change of company
Can you go past the stopping mark?
Go until it's dark

It was hard to leave but it's harder to be free
Cause i feel the best when she's not leaving me
Honestly

Stunned i am bewildered in my bed
An overdose on something that was said
Rollover time measured by the mile
Feeling knots that never will untie

Flecks of dust dancing in the sun
A ticking clock ticking for no-one
The phone is still and still is what it's like
To hide the sun and sink into the night

Hanging from a tree is the passing time for me
Discomfort when the tonics simply aren't
Initials in the tree in the vein of misery
At least i didn't carve you in my arms

Did you know i saw you in a dream
Me on a limb, you looking up at me
I never smiled, you laughed until you cried
It's better here at least i've come outside

No silence on the streets, dirty feet, you cannot sleep
Your taxi is your home
You want to clean it up, the dirty scum, the filthy bums
You write when you're alone

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on
And betsy let you down
You thought you had it right

No you wouldn't wait man
Took the trouble in your own hand
You wouldn't believe it when she wouldn't leave it
Stand up man

So the senator needs a ride, didn't you
Didn't you imagine if he died?
The jealous husband met his match, get a gun, darlin' one
Did you thank him for his cash?

Your shooting days are done, drive a cab, pay the tab
Guess the war is won
No silence on the street, dirty feet, you cannot sleep
Your taxi is your home

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on
And iris let you down
You thought you had it right

Hi, it's me sorry it's so late
The trip was hard that made you wait
You can yell and scream and not be heard

Low, on promises that were made
A love song rarely played
Is "goodbye" your only word?

And she said "oh dear god
Give me one good reason
Why i should stay here
One more season with him.
This guy is so full of holes
And when he rains he pours."

You say that you are here for me
But where we are is far from home
Have the children gone to sleep?

Now i can't afford to waste my time
Fearing that i've left my prime
Can't be wrong so i must be right

Stumped the old lady with words she'd never heard
Kinda go crazy when i'm around her
I see who you are and i know what you want
I know what you have and i know you have not
Met her last summer was the last summer for me


Go on catch fire when you are happy
Go on catch fire when you are mad
If you desire make it a double
I know the troubles you think you have


Who in the world would take someone there
With eyes kinda crossed and a nose way up in the air
I see who it is when i turn the light on
Couldn't pretend no i couldn't hang on
Will the kind owner make a loner of me?


Everyone knows you can't make it cold
Without a cinder a spark will never grow
I see who you are and i know what you want
I know what you have and i know you have not
Met her last summer was the last summer for me
