"Sailboats" lyrics

"Sailboats"

Say what you want, that's all
I hear the places calling out of me
Who we belong to
And who we long to be
Oh, what a low blow
I feel a lifetime pause
So many queer days
So many days are lost

Getting used to seeing you go
Getting used to seeing you go

I don't know why I do
I don't know why I am
I groove in borrowed shoes
And clap my borrowed hands
I never follow through
I break our broken plans
Do what you want to
Some of us can't

Getting used to seeing you go
Getting used to seeing you go
As sailboats go

Oh, what a low blow
You have to move real fast
So many dangers
You never think to ask

Getting used to seeing you go
Getting used to seeing you go
As sailboats go
Sailboats
They go
Go
