Lyrics The Walkmen

The Walkmen

On the Water

All the windows are glowing

The branches bending low

The skyline is swinging

Rocking back and forth

Walking down this dirt road

Watching at the sky

It's all I can do

It's all I can do

All the years keep rolling

The decades flying by

But ahh, the days are long

So here's one to the pigeons

The tugboats on the river

Here's one to you

For walking in my shoes, ah

Oh, you know I'd never leave you

No matter how hard I try

You know I'd never leave you

And that's just how it is

Oh, everybody sees right through

Oh, the static

That is, dear, everyone but you

Oh, it's funny to think it through

Everybody... that is, dear, everyone but you
