This Old World

This old world is breaking my heart again
Trouble, I thought you'd drift right out of town
But this old world is bringing me down

This boat's taking on water as fast as I can row
I don't know that it will ever find the shore
I went to warn the captain, I tried to tell the crew
They sent me to the cynic who simply showed me to the door
I don't know that I shall ever see the shore
I don't know that I shall ever see the shore

When you read your morning paper, please keep an eye for me
Boy was swallowed by the never loving sea
His boat could not be found, because it could not find the shore
All they found was his body
And there's more
He was found with his hand upon the oar
He went down with his hands upon the oar

This old world is bringing me down again
This old world is bringing me down again

This old world is breaking my heart again
Trouble, I thought you'd drift right out of town
But this old world is bringing me down
