Del Amitri Drowned On Dry Land Lyrics

When your world is full of strangers, when your nights are dark and dangerous,
there's a place where you can hang and just let it go.
When your eyes see only sorrow, and your life seems somehow borrowed,
and those long promised tomorrows never show.

Well, come on down we're waiting for you;
We got a special evening planned.
We're gonna push the boat out or you might get drowned on dry land.

When the road looks long and lonely, when the sky is overloaded,
when you feel like you're the only one in pain.
When your smile gets weak and weary, when you're weirded out and wary,
and you long to be somewhere they know your name.

Yeah, you can try to take it, try to hide it, or try to fake it.
Yeah, you can try to make a stand.
But some day they will find you shaking, holding up your hands,
saying, "Someone take me back, to some way I'll live and that I understand."
I understand...

When your will to live is choking, when your spirit has been broken,
when the whole d___ thing seems token and mundane.
When the blackness all around you crowds you out and hounds you,
picks you up and crowns you "King of the Lame".
