All The Rowboats- Regina Spektor

God, I pity the violins. 

All the rowboats in the paintings
They keep trying to row away
And the captains’ worried faces
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
They’ll keep hanging in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

Hear them whispering french and german
Dutch, italian, and latin
When no one’s looking i fetch a sculpture
Marble, gold, and soft as satin
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

First there’s lights out, then there’s lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It’s their own fault for being timeless
There’s a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
Here’s your ticket, welcome to the tombs
They’re just public mausoleums
The living dead fill every room
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

They will hang there in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

First there’s lights out, then there’s lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It’s their own fault for being timeless
There’s a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
They will stay there forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away…

About

My name is Savannah but I've always used the pseudonym TryingToFindTheWords. An anagram of my full name is
as an alarming haven.

I have trouble containing my joy.

I’m a fan of words, film, and music. I like horse back riding, the ocean, and fireworks. I share a birthday with Theodore Roosevelt, Sylvia Plath, and Alfred North Whitney Griswold. I adore the Oxford Comma, dresses, and puns. I’m a scorpio, water sign, and vegetarian.

I also have about a gazillion subblogs dedicated to things like art, water, and MusicalActs.

Here you’ll find posts about…
Band of Brothers,
Leverage,
quotes,
Primeval,

And one more A/B/C pic. Tickled that I finally got the frame where Becker reaches for Connor. Yay! Plenty more of this, plus more pairings, tomorrow and throughout the week. :) politics,

My ask box is always open and I love talking and meeting new people. :)

I saw Jesse host SNL in person. I used to photograph and interview bands (including 3oh3, All Time Low, Charlotte Sometimes, The Academy Is..., The Maine, We The Kings, etc) for websites.
