Drifiting further out to sea

The strength will soon be leaving me

Our ships have sunk or run aground

And only sharks now swim around

Smashed and battered by the waves

Support their hope of being saved

And every passing ship to chance

Salvation in a passing glance

I may need dreams from time to time

But dreams aren't keeping me alive

My dreams have torn my life in two

Now I just need a rock to cling to

I'm often closer than

I think Yet my grip is far too weak

I grab a box and swim away

Time and time and time again

But not for me this time

I guessAnd then the next and then the next

Is my fear of crashing waves

Greater than my fear of being saved

I may need dreams from time to time

But dreams aren't keeping me alive

My dreams have torn my life in two

Now I just need a rock to cling to
