May It Last Lyrics - Avett Brothers

There is a sea, and I am a captain 

Something unknown, waves high as mountains 

There is a key and there is a light 

Here's to times that I catch it, may it last through the night 

I'm as low as they come 

I'm what shouldn't be done 

Filthy and lost, still up for trying 

You're the one reason why 

You look up and smile 

Wishing alone 

And I'm ready to forge ahead 

There is a sea and I am a captain 

Of something unknown, waves high as mountains 

There is a key and there is a light 

Here's to times that I catch it 

May it last through the night

Dark thoughts are hidden 

Masked in the shadows 

Times they get strained 

Colors are thrown 

We're all well fitted 

Primed and armored 

Traveling fast 

The judgement is past 

Now it's time to go on 

There is a sea and I am a captain 

Of something unknown, waves high as mountains 

There is a key and there is a light 

Here's to times that I catch it 

May it last through the night 

Photos 

The engine won't turn 

When the fire won't burn 

Like it did when we felt it 

Deep in our hearts 

Untie the rudder 

Guide them away 

Take me I'll serve you 

Take me I'll serve 

There is a sea and I am a captain 

Of something unknown, waves high as mountains 

There is a key and there is a light 

Here's to times that I catch it 

May it last through the night
