about

This song is about docks, not ducks.

lyrics

Well it looks like I've got myself stuck
Just like those docks I saw out on the georgia strait
Though they seem to move just a little more than me
The high tide comes in about twice a day

I feel just like that stuffed crow you put up on your shelf
My glass eyes are watchful but my feet aren't fit to step
My legs are sore from stillness and my back has gone stiff
You caught me in mid-flight with my wings outstretched

I want you to anchor me just like those docks on the bay
At least then when I couldn't move I'd have someone to blame
Though I suppose those waves can move just a little bit of sand
And in a hundred years or so, I'll wash up on your land
