lyrics

Sometimes I like to rip a page out a book
And pretend it’s a letter to me
Then I remember how
He swallowed the flood
I’ve got a friend in this forlorn
Friendless deep

Dark is the cup, but it sparkles and it glares
Back at me when I stare into it
Like a lover who is not a friend
I need a friend, won’t you rescue you

I am a shipwrecked vessel slumbering here
At the floor America’s lonely sea
But my Lord he drank that shipwreck up
He pulled my hull right up to be free

I kick and scream 'til the waters fill the void
I might suddenly be un-buoyed
Then I remember how
He swallowed the flood
I’ve got a friend in this forlorn
friendless deep
