Captains and Cruise Ships

FOR YYT

I am stuck in LA

Through the week and can't get away

And you're alone on the pier

In West Palm Beach on your holiday

Stormy night reawake

the stomach ache that i've acquired

from feeling down things look grim

and i'm so sick of being tired

apartment lights go dark

and it's depressing but what can i do?

the midnight streets feel dead

when i am so used to driving with you

brighter lights fill the night and

bluer skys reflect in your eyes

As I inspect and analyze

All of these dreams I don't recognize

if you're still up when the ships

in the port prepare to set sail

comb the beach and put those blue flowers up in your ponytail

inside my head

you're voice is still resounding but what can i do?

Empty rooms feel cold when I am so used to being with you

Count the stars watch the waves absorb the summer sun

and think of me

when you explore hidden coves and tiny island chains throughout the sea

Can you still

hear my voice

when I'm outside from over the phone

For what its worth

darling dear

I wish you were here

Cause I feel alone

when you were home we'd sing but since you've left I don't hear anything

Though I feel so sad I can't believe things are really that bad

Old captains and brand new cruise ships

Sailing over the briney sea

When I crashed my beloved desk job

And swim through the debris

I'll cut loose leave this mad housebound for the Atlantic blue

I'll stroll down your treelined driveway

and sail the ocean with you

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!
