Boat On the Charles Lyrics
Boat on the Charles
Train on a spur, down by the riverside
The door's open widePlanes in a line, just seven miles away
They leave every dayAnd someone's always going south
A guy with a truck here about
Is going New Year's EveWhy don't you leave?
Why don't you leave?
Why don't you leave?Why don't I leave
I can't make myself believeNo one really cares for me here
I can't make no sense of this place and I fear
I can't spend another day without hearing from you
Throw my life away and pass my body through into the CharlesBoat on the Charles
Bird on a wire outside my window pane
It's started to rainBuses in line just seven blocks away
They leave every dayAnd someone's always asking me
Why I can't seem
To make myself see
That you won't answer meWhy don't you leave?
Why don't you leave?
Why don't you leave?Why don't I leave
I can't make myself believeNo one really cares for me here
I can't make no sense of this place and I fear
I can't spend another day without hearing from you
Throw my life away and pass my body through into the CharlesHow many times can a man be told?
How many times before I lose control?
I don't give a damn for my immortal soul
It's just about time I let my insides show
So here I goHere I go
Here I go
