Steamboat Songtext
von Adrianne Lenker

Well I am just a stranger
I am only a walker
I guess I am human
But sometimes I feel
Like I am only a ghost
Like I am only a wall
And If you come around honey
I'll probably just follow you home
Cause it's all to know how to do
I was born by a body
I'll die by one too
And places ain't nothing
If it ain't got you
One day I am gonna be a steam boat baby
One day I can be a freight train lady
I'll roll down the river And the miles won't phase me
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
Still everynight I call you on the phone
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
I've been arranging each of my movements
And all of my gestures
And trying to fool myself
Into thinking
That everything is small
That nothing has reason
I woke up and cried
A Convulsion of honesty
Brought me to life
When I thought I was gone
But I can't put a lie in the mouth of a song


One day I am gonna be a steam boat baby
One day I can be a freight train lady
I'll roll down the river
And the miles won't phase me
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
Still everynight I call you on the phone
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
