All the Rowboats Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Supersting 

Cover art for All the Rowboats lyrics by Regina Spektor

This song strikes me as a lamentation that creation is a finite process and that when a piece is complete, it dies in a way. When a painter makes his last stroke, no matter how great the painting, the picture is simply behind him. Nothing to add, nothing to change, its fate is simply to exist.
