Cold winds won’t stop being blown

I sit here with my thoughts, all alone

While you all were at the diner 

I was stuck writing one-liners

With the industry’s axe chasing me ‘round

So don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown

Into this never ending river

Where my whole body always quivers

Don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown

Your deafness has driven me to places anew

I’m falling deeper in this haze of blue

I look like the Old Guitar

After I play while smoking cigars

The water flows in crazy streams

In endless haunting screams

Pulling me in, pulling me under from the rock

So don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown

Into this never ending river

Where my whole body always quivers

Don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown

Your deafness has driven me to places anew

I’m falling deeper in this haze of blue

Like a story untold

My hearts and blood’ve shifted thousand degrees too cold

So take this one to The Bird

After it all goes unheard

Make sure my temperature is told to the world

But don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown

Into this never ending river

Where my whole body always quivers

Don’t let me drown, don’t let me drown

Your deafness has driven me to places anew

I’m falling deeper in this haze of blue
