All the Rowboats Regina Spektor

[Verse 1]
All the rowboats in the paintings
They keep trying to row away
And the captains' worried faces
Stay contorted and staring at the waves

[Hook]
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

[Verse 2]
Hear them whispering French and German
Dutch, Italian, and Latin
When no one's looking, I touch a sculpture
Marble, cold, and soft as satin

[Pre-Hook]
But the most special are the most lonely
God, I pity the violins
In glass coffins they keep coughing
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing
La da da da da, la da da da da, la

[Instrumental]
