[A]
I'm so exhausted at the end of the day
I tie my vessel to the dock of the bay
And retire
Burning fire

It seems my toils have no ending in sight
My muscles aching each and every night
But I'm happy
Said I'm happy
When I wring my insides out
I find I'm thinking of you


[A]
I'm so exhausted from the work that I do
My labors keep my mood from turning to blue
Stop me thinking
Stop me thinking

Cause sometimes thoughts start piling up in my head
The worries bring me down and fill me with dread
Bring me sorrow
For tomorrow
When I write these silly songs
You know I'm writing for you


[B]
Like a hurricane
Like a hurricane
I soar across the sea

As the waves roll by
As I say goodbye
Oh say
You'll think of me
Hold me fondly in your mind


[A]
I'm so exhausted never phoning it in
The Bible tells me sloth is surely a sin
I'm no sinner
Fish for dinner

I'm so exhausted won't you throw me a bone
It ain't that much but I can call it my own
Ain't that special
Say I'm special
When I'm tearing down the state
My heart is longing for you


[B]
Like a rotary
Like a cherry tree
I grow my branches long

Like a cellophane
Broken windowpane
Just waiting for something
Sure it happens all the time


[Outro]
I'm so exhausted at the end of the day
I tie my vessel to the dock of the bay
And retire
Burning fire
When I wring my insides out
When my head is full of doubt
When I catch the golden trout
I'm always thinking of you
