Lifeline

When the future looks so grey
Last hopes all fade away
And vanish in the blue
When my big chance slips
Through my hands
Leaving me with washed up plans
And broken dreams are all that I cling to

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again

You've been the heaven sent
A desperate man depends on
When nothing else could pull him through
There's been time when sink or swim
I watched the picture growing dim
And everytime you showed
Right upon on cue

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again
Till my number comes up
It's gonna be thumbs up
My ship's comin' in round the bend
It's like you throw out your lifeline again

I see the rainbow's end
Your vote of confidence
Can brighten up the darkest hue
You have changed my tears to laughter
Made what seemed like sure disaster
Just a passing phase we all go through

It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again
Till my number comes up
It's gonna be thumbs up
My ship's comin' in round the bend
It's like you throw out your lifeline
Before I go under.
