Out alone a drowning Man
DOnt admit he's drowning
Keep him afloat with your own lifeboat
And you'll both be singing
When the ship goes down
He laughs like a bird about to be risen
He swears by the moon he's yours
You might believe his heart will be given
But he'll come running when the tide comes in
Out alone a drowning man
Keep his spirits falsely
And you'll both be sleeping when the ship goes down
How I love the drowning man
Throw him a rope that's made of bad linen
He'll catch it and hold it so tight
He'll wrap it around his silvery crown
Until he's wrapped until you leap
Love him until he's dead to you
Leave all he's seen to his own heart
And you'll sing alone
How you love the drowning man
