Lyrics: Boat On The Charles
Album: The Ballad Of Todd Rundgren
Artist: Todd Rundgren
 

Boat on the charles
Train on a spur down by the riverside
The door’s open wide
Planes in a line just seven miles away
They leave every day
And someone’s always going south
A guy with a truck here about is going new year’s eve
Why don’t you leave

Why don’t i leave
I can’t make myself believe
No one really cares for me here
I can’t make no sense of this place and i fear
I can’t spend another day without hearing from you
Throw my life away and pass my body through into the charles

Boat on the charles
Bird on a wire outside my window pane
It’s started to rain
Buses in line just seven blocks away
They leave every day
And someone’s always asking me why i can’t seem
To make myself see
That you won’t answer me
Why don’t you leave

Why don’t i leave
How many times can a man be told
How many times before i lose control
I don’t give a damn for my immortal soul
It’s just about time i let my insides show
So here i go
