Lyrics

Bad Waters

When I think of the things I've squandered in my life
I'm breaking my heart but I carry it through the night
Oh, ain't it sad to be drifting out to sea
Bedeviled by the tides without no hope in sight

Oh my, looks like I'm heading for bad water
Oh dear, looks like we're all heading down for bad waters

When I think of the things I've squandered in my life
I'm counting the cost but tomorrow I'll pay the price
Shadows passing by across a midday sky
A lonesome albatross is the only friend I've got

Oh my, looks like I'm heading for bad water
Oh dear, looks like we're all heading down for bad waters

Restless is the sea that splashed on broken shores
But what else could I be, alone again once more

Oh my, looks like I'm heading for bad water
Oh dear, looks like we're all heading down for bad waters
