Oh sea legs please don't fail me now |
|
I pray lord please help me right |
|
This ship today |
|
Cause I can't take much more |
|
Of this strain on my battered hull. |
|
I thought |
|
I was tough |
|
I thought |
|
I was strong |
|
Thought I could handle anyone who came along |
|
Thought the worth of a boatin how well it floats |
|
And this old boat won't float for long with all these holes |
|
So I grab both sides with iron will |
|
It's fit for war but weighs too much and starts to fill |
|
Now I'm clutching the sides as long as |
|
I canIt's much too cold to swim |
|
And much too deep to stand. |
|
When I started off down this path |
|
I was well aware of the facts |
|
And despite the proof |
|
I have vowed to choose |
|
I continue bearing these (?) |
|
I thought |
|
I was quickas smart as a whip |
|
I guess I met my match |
|
Best stiffen up, my lip. |
|
My wit's getting weak |
|
The sea's on the rise |
|
And here I sit exposedatop the lying side |
|
I thought |
|
I was tough |
|
I thought |
|
I was strong |
|
But I can't stay aboard this sinking ship for long |
|
I thought |
|
I was quick |
|
Smart as a whip |
|
I guess I met my match this time |
|
I'll take my licks. |
|
And when push always comes to shove |
|
And I feel like enough's enough |
|
And despite the shit-storm that's pounding my home |
|
I walk outside and set off. |
|
Oh sea legs please don't fail me now |
|
Oh sea legs please don't fail me now |
