Death Cab For Cutie - Rockin' Chair lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - Rockin' Chair lyrics]
Hang around, Willie Boy
Don't you raise the sails anymore
It's for sure
I've spent my whole life at sea
And I'm pushin' age seventy-three
Now there's only one place that
Is meant for me
Oh, to be home again down in old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him Ragtime Willie
W're gonna soothe away the rest of our years
We're gonna put away all of our fears
That big rockin' chair 'won't' go nowhere
Slow down, Willie Boy
Your heart's gonna give right out on you
It's true
And I believe I know what we should do
Turn the stern and point to shore
The seven seas won't carry us no more
Oh, to be home again down in old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him Ragtime Willie
I can't wait to sniff that air
Dip'n snuff, I won't have no care
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere
Hear the sound, Willie Boy
The Flyin' Dutchman's on the reef
It's my belief we've used up all our time
This hill's to steep to climb
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime
Oh, to be home again down in old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him Ragtime Willie
Would-a-been nice just t'see the folks
Listen once again to the stale jokes
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere
I can hear something calling on me
(And you know where I want to be)
Oh Willie don't you hear that sound
(Oh to be home again down in old Virginny)
I just want to get my feet back on the ground
(Oh to be home again down in old Virginny)
I'd love to see my very best friend
(They call him Rag-time Willie)
I believe old rockin chair's got me
Don't you raise the sails anymore
It's for sure
I've spent my whole life at sea
And I'm pushin' age seventy-three
Now there's only one place that
Is meant for me
Oh, to be home again down in old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him Ragtime Willie
W're gonna soothe away the rest of our years
We're gonna put away all of our fears
That big rockin' chair 'won't' go nowhere
Slow down, Willie Boy
Your heart's gonna give right out on you
It's true
And I believe I know what we should do
Turn the stern and point to shore
The seven seas won't carry us no more
Oh, to be home again down in old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him Ragtime Willie
I can't wait to sniff that air
Dip'n snuff, I won't have no care
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere
Hear the sound, Willie Boy
The Flyin' Dutchman's on the reef
It's my belief we've used up all our time
This hill's to steep to climb
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime
Oh, to be home again down in old Virginny

They call him Ragtime Willie
Would-a-been nice just t'see the folks

(Oh to be home again down in old Virginny)
I'd love to see my very best friend
(They call him Rag-time Willie)
I believe old rockin chair's got me
