Captain's Clock

from More Than We Know by Aoife O'Donovan

/

lyrics

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 got from you

now all i got are thoughts of you

so i put them in my dresser drawer and 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
like 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
