Okkervil River - Lost Coastlines

Packed and all eyes turned in,
no one to see on the key.
No one waving for me just the shoreline receding.
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in.
Cause who said sailing is fine?
leaving behind all the faces that
I might replace if I tried on that long ride,
looking deep inside but
I don’t want to look so deep inside yet.

Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye,
there might not be another star,
farther on the line. Look out,
look out at each town that glides by,
and there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes.
And see how that light you love now just won’t shine,
there might just be another star,
that’s high and far in some other sky.

We sing, is that marionette real enough
yet to step off of that set and decide
what a dance might mean to it.
Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape.
We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags
from the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath
flags black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated,
foreign, war.

And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him
but we find
that the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines.
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or
outlined and we don't recognize the names upon strange signs.

And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide,
well we have lost our way,
nobody’s gonna say it outright.
Just go la la la la la la la la la…..
