My ship is sinking

My ship is sinking

And I’ve been thinking

About giving in



Yeh, I’ve been stronger

But that’s not true any longer

Not since my love left me for western waters



She never said goodbye

Hardly gave me a glance, but with a sigh

she said “I think you know what I’m about to do”



And my heart, it then sank low

and the pull from the undertow

brought it deeper and deeper below


Further and farther

into the deep blue



My ship is sinking

My ship is sinking

And I’ve just been drinking


Missing you



What a cruel and crooked god

To toss around the waves


And send the desperate fisherman

to a salty grave



I haven’t seen the sun in weeks

And the storm still rages on


I wonder if the waters will calm

When I’m sunk and gone
