Lyrics
Colonel Maxwell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sound off, I fell asleep already dreaming that I'd lost
I wake up, grab my boots and drag my bag across the dock
I'm leaving home
Long gone, if I jump I'll never make it back to town (is it over now)
Hold on, don't look now but this whole ship is going down
And I'm trapped under water
Don't want to fend here for myself tonight
And I'm starting to lose it
I don't want to fend here for myself tonight
I'm the soul that sailed across that bay
The ship, a creature lost beneath the waves
So burn the bridge to hell and light my way
