Elbow - My Sad Captains lyrics

[Elbow - My Sad Captains lyrics]

I'm running out of miracles oh my soul
And the streets are lined with one man shows
Oh my soul the corner boys were moved along
Oh my soul
We're plummeting like crippled crows
Oh my soul

Oh, long before you and I were born
Others beat these benches with
Their empty cups to the night and it's stars
To be here and now, and who we are
Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time

The BMX apothecary oh my soul
The architect of infamy oh my soul
For each and every train we miss oh my soul
A bitter little Eucharist oh my soul

Oh, long before you and I were born
Others beat these benches with
Their empty cups to the night and it's stars
To be here and now, and who we are

Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time

Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time

Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time

What a perfect waste of time
