lyrics

rowing your drunken boat / i’m alone on the water / i borrowed your pain for a day / and carried it down to the bottom / i thought maybe i’d stay there / but i woke up with the sun / someone played a piano / a candle burned by the door / and my thoughts were all laid on the table / i tried hard to remember / and now i’m with your remains / and we touch the sky from this rooftop / we bring down the rain and i send you away / to a place where you’re safe and forgiven / but i can’t find my way there / when all my convictions are laid down to rest / i warm my delusion by the fire instead / and sing from this grave that i’ve dug in my head / we still dance on the waves / drowning in starlight and ether / we tap out rhythms and rhymes / and our lives are these poems that never get written / but i said i’d remember / when all my convictions are laid down to rest / i warm my delusion by the fire instead / and sing from this grave that i’ve dug in my head
