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[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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