The Drowning Song
What's that you're saying to me, Sybeline?
What's that you're saying to me now?
Did you say you want me to come back home?
Where's home? Where are the charts? Who lost the maps?
Where's the navigator? Why is there nobody on this ship?
Sybeline
Why am I rolling on this floor
With those crabs
With their eyes, our friends scuttling in and out?
And I leave you now, with this word: Drowning
Who's that standing by the starboard oar?
Who's that rolling on the ocean floor?
Keep on rowing boys, row some more
Keep on rowing till we hit the shore
Row one time for your ma and pa
Row two times to the southern star
Row three times you're gonna go far
Row four times to the dead man's bar
I've been falling for so long, it feels like I'm standing still
I've been falling for so long, it feels like I always will
I'm drowning in my tears
I'm drowning in a dead man's fears
I'm drowning
Row one time for your ma and pa
Row two times to the southern star
Row three times you're gonna go far
Row four times to the dead man's bar
What's that you're saying to me now?
Did you say you want me to come back home?
Where's home? Where are the charts? Who lost the maps?
Where's the navigator? Why is there nobody on this ship?
Sybeline
Why am I rolling on this floor
With those crabs
With their eyes, our friends scuttling in and out?
And I leave you now, with this word: Drowning
Who's that standing by the starboard oar?
Who's that rolling on the ocean floor?
Keep on rowing boys, row some more
Keep on rowing till we hit the shore
Row one time for your ma and pa
Row two times to the southern star
Row three times you're gonna go far
Row four times to the dead man's bar
I've been falling for so long, it feels like I'm standing still
I've been falling for so long, it feels like I always will
I'm drowning in my tears
I'm drowning in a dead man's fears
I'm drowning
Row one time for your ma and pa
Row two times to the southern star
Row three times you're gonna go far
Row four times to the dead man's bar
