Lyrics
David Matthews Scotch The Final Oar
Once when I was sailing I thought of your sweet face It made my lonely world-a better place And since I was dreaming-I had you say this line I am yours forever and you are mine Why-I- never thought to land-now the ocean's on fire
I had you hold my hand then I had you search the sea Where we are taken is where-we outta be
The cameras are rolling-the music starts to play Something to sing to you that I could never say
I do believe we've missed the turn for some familiar shore The wind is up- the sail is down-there's no hope anymore The maps are soaked-the oil is spent behind the captain's door-Scotch The Final Oar
This life on the ocean is driving me mad I can't give back-what I never had So now when I'm sailing-still think of your sweet face Still makes my lonely world-a better place Why-I- never thought to land-now the ocean's on fire
Just let me drift away
