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
