Lyrics

One day as I was sailing on the Caribbean Sea I spied a little fishing vessel drifting aimlessly Her sails were torn and tattered And her wheel was spinning free I told myself that little boat sure looks a lot like me As I pulled along beside her and I climbed upon her deck In the silence I could feel the hair a rising on my neck I thought as I walked through the empty quarters down below That lost abandoned vessel was the sister of my soul 'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink Just a speck upon the waters Of an ocean deep and wide I won't even make a ripple when I sink In the emptiness my footsteps were like echoes in a cave That seemed to say there ain't no way to leave this floating grave And when I scrambled to the deck my ship had vanished like a dream Leaving nothing but the lonely waves to hear my silent scream 'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink Just a speck upon the waters Of an ocean deep and wide I won't even make a ripple when I sink
