Sunk
Sunk, I founder on your shore,
A ship wreck at your door,
All my sails are torn.
Sink, like the sunset in your eyes.
I never realized
How in need I am of you.
So, in the end,
An S.O.S I’ll send
But there’s no one listenin’
To the call.
Until I fix the hole
In my boat, I’ll hide the gold
In the forest beyond the shore
Of your heart-land.
2.Deep, I cannot go too deep
For that of which I seek
And hide my treasure chest there.
Gold, I’ve got so damn much gold,
My life’s worth nothing more
Than these blessing and these curses.
Down, down,
The weight, it pulls me down.
The weight of all this gold
Pulls me down.
Low, low,
My fortune is too low.
What would you think
To see them Guineas sink?
Angels call my name.
Devils take the blame.
If I had it all to do again
I’d leave the gold behind and swim on in,
3.There, on your desert isle
Where I was beguiled
By your golden smile.
Sink, I let my treasure sink,
Came back from the brink
And you breathed my life back into me.
To sing a song,
A sailor on a farm,
Plowing through the fields
Of your heart-land
Life at sea is short,
A new one can’t be bought,
And the love of gold
Will only weigh you down
The love of gold
Will only weigh you down.

Special thanks to Trevor G.
he sent me the lyrics. I was having trouble with the S.O.S part and he just sent me the whole thing
