about
A ballad about lost friendship, nautical lore, and exploring the unknown. Very special thanks to Mikey J. for the magnificent "Cello from Down Under"!
lyrics
Adrift
1. Signed up for a party, on a big metal ship
Things got heavy, the boat began to tip, boat began to tip.
2. As young sailors, we never learned to swim, No hanging on, dear
The quicker to meet our end, quicker to meet our end.
3. Tried all the knots, to find one that would hold, hard to tie
when hands and hearts grow cold, hands and hearts grow cold.
CHORUS: That storm came crashing in, we knew it had to end
That storm came crashing in, we knew it had to end.
The sea didn't take us that day (repeat 3 X)
Only one of us washed away, only one of us walked away..
4. Lost at sea, my friend, far away at the world's end
tied a string to all we held dear
but sirens whispered in your ear, sirens whispered in your ear
things best unspoken, and floating debris,
leave it all, and sink into the sea, sink in to the sea.
REPEAT CHORUS
No wind in our sails, but we're headed home
Might drown in a bottle, you never know
Pray all you like, but keep rowing for shore.
REPEAT CHORUS
