Sinking Ship

[Verse 1} I wonder who can help us I sit and count the days And I keep digging a hole in the ground When I’d rather be floating away [Verse 2] My mother always helped me But she’s helped me all she can And I trusted some in a man I loved But he took it all and ran [Verse 3] And my baby is not a baby But he never left the nest And I can’t remember A day when I haven’t Been worrying about the rest [Verse 4] And you take my situation And you shape it in your hand But until your ship is sinking You will never understand [Outro] That it’s only temporary These are temporary gains And there will always be another Man you didn’t pay And there will always be another Thing you didn’t say But not another day
