Drowned Town - India Ramey

Your love is like finger nails on a chalkboard Your love is like throwing myself overboard A breakdown on a motorway A heart attack on Christmas day Like scaling a cliff then falling off Like trying not to cough And I didn't see this one coming, now I'm in too deep I didn't see this one coming, now I'm in too deep I think I'll just keep swimming down, down, down There's no point in trying to turn back now I'm drowned I'm drowned Your love is like sand inside a bathing suit Your love is a symphony with the sound on mute A letter sent to the wrong address Or red wine on a wedding dress Like broken bones in my playing hand Like trying to swallow sand Cos I didn't see this one coming, now I'm in too deep I didn't see this one coming, now I'm in too deep I think I'll just keep swimming down, down, down There's no point in trying to reach dry ground I'm drowned I'm drowned Your love is like one last breath of salty air Your love is like a map that leads to nowhere A wine glass on a concrete floor The overuse of metaphor The straight ahead in a sideways glance Like the misstep in a dance Cos I didn't see this one coming, now I'm in too deep I didn't see this one coming, now I'm in too deep I think I'll just keep swimming down There's no point in turning round I'm drowned I'm drowned

There are men high up there fishing Haven't seen quite enough of the world I ain't seen a sign of my hero And I'm still diving down for pearls Oh, let me flow into the ocean Yeah, let me get back to the sea Let me be stormy and let me be calm Let the tide in, and set me free I'm flowing under bridges Then flying through the sky I'm traveling down cold metal Just a tear in baby's eye Oh, let me flow into the ocean Oh, let me get back to the sea Let me be stormy and let me be calm Let the tide in and set me free Set me free I am not the actor This can't be the scene But I am in the water As far as I can see Oh, I'm remembering distant memories Recalling other names Rippling over canyons And boiling in the train Oh, let me flow into the ocean Let me get back to the sea Let me be stormy and let me be calm Let the tide in and set me free Set me free Set me free I wanna drown In cold water

Once she had drowned and started her slow descent Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent As if it was acting as her body's guardian Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight By clasping her in their slimy grip Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip And the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke And its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke To see that she got one further morning Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair It happened quite slowly that she gently slipped from God's thoughts First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair Leaving those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse

I can't count the cities and towns that I've left behind Me I'm still drifting, running on rodeo time Tonight a steel guitar's playing And I'm alone at a table for two Chasing 8 second glory I've sure come a long way for you I'm West Texas lonely Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Well a week from tonight I'll see Amarillo again And I can't help but wonder If you'll be there in the stands I guess you remember That spotlight gets dimmer each day Cause being a cowboy Always means riding away And I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue
