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

Like the captain's clock

What I wanted from you

Wasn't what I got from you

Now all I got are thoughts of you

Put them in my dresser drawer

I put on a shirt you wore

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
