《The Drowning Man》歌词

[00:00:00] The Drowning Man - Janis Ian

[00:00:00] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:00] He said grab any stool put your belly to the bar

[00:00:09] I'm not such a fool I know just who you are

[00:00:18] It's been too many years and not enough time

[00:00:27] Have a cup of my tears they've been watered with wine

[00:00:36] I am the drowning man I am the drowning man

[00:00:58] There once was a girl every story starts that way

[00:01:07] She lit up my world like a fireworks display

[00:01:15] And the flame drew me near but it frightened me more

[00:01:24] So I met her with water and I rained 'til I poured

[00:01:33] Now I am the drowning man I am the drowning man

[00:01:55] I'm drowning in jiggers and I'm drowning in smoke

[00:02:04] I'm drowning in rivers where the fish gasp and choke

[00:02:13] I have drowned my tomorrows just to drown out my past

[00:02:22] Now I drown all my sorrows at the bottom of this glass

[00:02:30] Cause I am the drowning man I am the drowning man

[00:03:10] I won't die for money and I won't die for love

[00:03:19] And I won't die for beauty or the good lord above

[00:03:28] But I'll die for a dream whose heart is engraved

[00:03:37] In the rocks and the reefs of my watery grave

[00:03:46] I am the drowning man I am the drowning man
