Lyrics
The Drowning Man
You wake up in the morning
Radio's shouting the world's pain
You get up in the daybreak
With so much on your mind
You look out into the daylight
Its just another rainy day
Just another one of those days
The trees that graced your childhood
Have withered away today
Their leaves sheltered the sunlight
There's nothing left to shade
The earth beneath your footsteps
Turned all hard and grey
Its just another thing to fade
Its another drowning man
Overtaken by his days
Underrated by his fame
Just another one of those days
Just another thing to fade
Its another drowning man
Overtaken by his days
Undetermined by his fate
Underrated by his lack of fame
Beaten by the end of his flame
Beaten by the extent of his shame
Just another one of those days
Just another thing to fade
