I've heard
the tale of a child newborn
On a sinking ship in a screaming storm
All alone, sitting on the ocean
The ship went down,
but the child was saved
Alone on his raft, he rowed on the waves
All alone, sitting on the ocean
Love, would you fill me a vial?
If I'm washed ashore,
would you take me in?
Would you cover me like we were kin?
Oh, won't you tell me a lie?
The storm blew up, ship blew down
All my cronies up and round
I'm all alone, sitting on the ocean
Sail the ocean
Lovesick sailors, fair weather friends
Lyin' on the bottom,
dyin' with the fans
I'm all alone, sittin' on the ocean
Sail the ocean
Love, won't you tell me a lie
If I'm washed ashore,
would you take me in?
Would you follow me like
we were canoes?
Love, I want you for real, I am
Love, I want you for me
Love, I want you for me
Love, I want you for me
Love, I want you for me
Drifting, drifting
Nothing to see but the water
Drifting, drifting
Nothing to see but the water
Love, won't you throw me a line?
I'm washed ashore,
would you take me in?
Would you comfort me like we were kin?
Love, won't you throw me a line?
Love, won't you throw me a line?
I'm washed ashore,
would you take me in?
Would you come on me,
let me walk in the love
Oh, won't you throw me a line
Oh, won't you throw me a line
Shipwrecked, shipwrecked
Looking for a hand in the wa ter
Mother, I'm sitting on the ocean
The sea is cold and the night is long
Send me a raft that I can lean on
I'm all alone, sitting on the ocean
Oh, love, oh, won't you throw me a line?
