Captain’s Clock

In the darkest hour of the darkest day
You came and darkened my doorway
Just tryin to drive the dark away
But I kept my shades drawn
I drew a bath after you'd gone
Got in the tub and soaked 'til dawn
Why'd you keep me here so long?
I'll keep singing you my songs
I'll sing 'em 'til my voice is gone
Then you put a record on
You put my favorite record on
You know I wanna sing along
I know the beating of your heart
Like the beat of a drum
The beating of my head against the wall after you leave
Before you come
Likе the captain's clock
What I wanted from you
Wasn't what I got from you
Now all I got are thoughts of you
So I put thеm in my dresser drawer
I put on a shirt you wore
And try to put my best foot forward
I know the beating of your heart
Like the beat of a drum
The beating of my head against the wall after you leave
Before you come
I know the beating of your heart
Like the beat of a drum
The beating of my head against the wall after you leave
Before you come
Like the captain's clock in the belly of the croc
The captain's clock in the belly of the croc
Do you wanna take a trip with me
To Mexico or Tenerife?
I wanna lie on a beach
Do you wanna take a trip with me
Up to the roof, down to the street
Who's gonna hold my hand, who’s gonna shoe my feet?
If you find somebody new
I won't weep or mourn for you
I'll hold my head up high to prove
That one is indivisible by two
And I'm invisible to you
