Elbow - My Sad Captains Lyrics
I'm running out of miraclesOh my soulAnd the streets are lined with one-man showsOh my soulCorner boys were moved alongOh my soulWe're plummeting like crippled crowsOh my soulOh, long beforeYou and I were bornOthers beat these benches with their empty cupsTo the night and the starsTo be here, and now, and who we areAnother sunrise with my sad captainsWith who I choose to lose my mindAnd if it's all we only pass this way but onceWhat a perfect waste of timeThe BMX apothecaryOh my soulThe architect of infamyOh my soulFor each and every train we missedOh my soulA bitter little EucharistOh, long beforeYou and I were bornOthers beat these benches with their empty cupsTo the night and the starsTo be here, and now, and who we areAnother sunrise with my sad captainsWith who I choose to lose my mindAnd if it's all we only come this way but onceWhat a perfect waste of timeAnother sunrise with my sad captainsWith who I choose to lose my mindAnd if it's all we only pass this way but onceWhat a perfect waste of timeWhat a perfect waste of timeWhat a perfect waste of time
