The Sailor
(album: The Delusionist)
A sailor at sea for years
With weathered skin, an untamed beard
Somewhere hidden within he had a secret, he couldn´t swim
Suddenly pulled overboard 50 yards from shore
A belt of lead around his waist pulled him to the floor
This sailor he won´t flail his chest is filled with pride
In this life I can´t swim, but soon I´m gonna fly
I´d rather drown tonight than let them know that I can´t swim
That´s what he said as he sunk to the bottom
Now his secret is safe at the bottom of the sea
Buried just like treasure that´s where it will be
It´s a treasure no man wants or ever will seek
His secret is safe with me
I´d rather drown tonight than let them know that I can´t swim
That´s what he said as he sunk to the bottom
I´d rather drown tonight (I´d rather drown tonight)
Than let them know that I can´t swim (I´d rather drown tonight)
That´s what he said (I´d rather drown tonight)
As he sunk to the bottom
Rather drown tonight than let them know that I can´t swim
That´s what he said as he sunk to the bottom
