Gonna Drown
something ‘bout the mood I’m in
see the sun sinking down
something ‘bout some place I wanna go
on the dark side of town
washed up here all thirsting
got some splinters got some nails
I got a message in a bottle
only love can fix the hull and fill the sails
I’m gonna drown my sorrows in whiskey
gonna drown that whiskey in beer
gonna drown my aching head for an hour or two
in anyone who is near
like an ancient zen brass bell
the sodden heart does ring
and all the secrets you can’t bear to tell
are so easy to song
gonna drown…
sipping on kerosene
chewing on coal
I’m gonna slow dance with all the wrong I’ve done
I’m gonna grind it into gold
gonna drown…
