Lyrics
SINKING SHIP RAG
(Words and Music by Michael W. Avery)
Just like a stream that never finds the sea
Just like a stream that never finds the sea
I've got a restless heart longing to be free
You wound me with love then want my company
You wound me with love then want my company
And you watch it all from the ruins of your balcony
So I'm looking for a road that leads to anywhere
So I'm looking for a road that leads to anywhere
You tell me it's over but I don't really care
You can't swim long against a changing tide
You can't swim long against a changing tide
When it comes to trouble, I will not be denied
Find me a sinking ship no matter where it's going
Find me a sinking ship no matter where it's going
Pretending ain't the same as not knowing
