Sinking Ship

She was the sinking ship that dragged me down
I was well equipped I wouldn't drown
At the journey's end we would no longer be
Time and tide don't bury me

I gave her all that I could find
A love we could discover
She turned her back and walked a mile
I gave it to another lover

On the sinking ship that dragged me down
I nailed my trust to the bow
No land around that I can see
Time and tide don't bury me

Oh Lord I'm overboard
I'm overboard
Oh Lord I will not drown
I will not drown

I gave her all that I could find
A love we could discover
She turned her back and walked a mile
I gave it to another lover
I didn't love her
