The ship is sinking and I need someone To hold my hand ! Will you stay with me, will you take a stand ? Will you be the one with me when my life Is just about thru , or will you turn your back As so many often do.
The water is rising quickly and it’s just about to my knees Will I have to beg you ? Will I have to plead? You claimed that you loved me and no one Else will ever do, and to my heart you Will forever be true.
Is this how weak your love is ? That you have To hesitate - by the time you make up your mind it just may be too late. I don’t know which one is sinking faster My heart or this here ship. The water is now to my waist And it’s rising OH so fast And you are looking at me And reflecting upon the past.
GO ! Leave me ! to deal with what may be the end For now I really see that you was never my love. Let alone a true friend.
I don’t know which one will take me first The water or my tears, but I learned a lesson And I’ve lost all my fears. I will swim to safety, for I know that I’ve grown strong And with you , I know I don’t belong.
