Boat on the Charles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Boat on the Charles Train on a spur down by the riverside The door's open wide Planes in a line just seven miles away They leave every day And someone's always going south A guy with a truck here about is going New Year's Eve Why don't you leave, why don't you leave Why don't you leave, why don't you leave [Chorus] Why don't I leave I can't make myself believe No one really cares for me here I can't make no sense of this place and I fear I can't spend another day without hearing from you Throw my life away and pass my body through into the Charles [Verse 2] Boat on the Charles Bird on a wire outside my window pane It's started to rain Buses in line just seven blocks away They leave every day And someone's always asking me why I can't seem To make myself see That you won't answer me Why don't you leave, why don't you leave Why don't you leave, why don't you leave [Chorus 2] Why don't I leave I can't make myself believe No one really cares for me here I can't make no sense of this place and I fear I can't spend another day without hearing from you Throw my life away and pass my body through into the Charles [Bridge] How many times can a man be told How many times before I lose control I don't give a damn for my immortal soul It's just about time I let my insides show [Outro] So here I go Here I go Here I go Here I go
