(Slow Foxtrot) Verse 1 The river knows More than we do It never asks Where love has been Bridge by bridge The evening falls Like old photographs Floating downstream Pre-Chorus The captain smiles "Shall we turn around?" You take my hand Before I answer Chorus Don't let this boat dock tonight Let the yellow flag Keep the whole world Out of sight If forever Is only One more mile Then keep us Drifting For a little while Verse 2 We spent a lifetime Learning how to leave Now every wave Unteaches goodbye The shore grows smaller With every song Maybe home Was moving All along Bridge No destination No parade No promises Left to make Just your hand Finding mine Like it always Knew the way Final Chorus Don't let this boat dock tonight The stars have finally Got it right Raise the yellow flag One last time If love is quarantine Then let this Be our Beautiful crime Outro Captain... Just keep sailing.
