I cried out no-one listened to me
Busy climbing the family tree
Oh the lines I've wasted

I came late, should've come when they called
You can't run with your back to the wall
Oh the times I've tasted

I'm lost at sea, I'm free at last
And in the night my dreams roll past
I wish those golden fantasies could last and last

Cos I thought I knew the signs pointin' my way home
I didn't think the time would ever come when
I'd drift the sea alone, searching for a line
I'm sinkin' I'm drowin'
Rescue me

Nine days on a ship in the sea
I heard them calling, calling for me
But I lay low and waited

I can't swim and I don't understand
This passion for arable land
I lay low and waited
Now lost at sea I'm free at last
And in the night my dreams roll past
I wish those golden fantasies could last and last

Cos I thought I knew the signs pointin' my way home
I didn't think the time would ever come when
I'd drift the sea alone searching for a line
I'm sinkin', I'm drowin'
Rescue me

I'm lost at sea I'm free at last
And in the night my dreams roll past
I wish those golden fantasies could last and last

Cos I thought I knew the signs pointin' my way home
I didn't think the time would ever come when
I'd drift the sea alone searching for a line
I'm sinkin', I'm drownin'
Rescue me

Nine days on a ship in the sea
I heard them callin', callin' for me
But I lay low and waited
