For being my friend and planting some seeds
For helping me carry my heavy load
Along this treacherous, rocky road
For staying with me on the trail
When the storm began to hail
For treating me with tender glove
And showing me unconditional love
Thanks for being there my friend
For walking beside me and helping me mend
For not trying to take the lead
You're a special friend indeed!
All eyes I feel on me
Loud are their laughs of scorn
I wish that I was never born
Heavy is this heart of mine
In the dark I sit and pine
This is the life that I have made
Lord I am so afraid
I feel like a little child
In my boat the storm is wild
Maybe I'll give up the fight
And simply drown myself tonight
A long time I've been at sea
With the waves against me
The waves tonight are gaining fast
I wonder how long this storm will last
In the storm my flapping sails
Blowing winds with loud wails
Getting beaten once again
Through this wild hurricane
Just when I think I'll get to shore
The wind starts up even more
Down my face run the tears
Full am I of many fears
Under the sea my destiny lies
For never shall the sun arise
I with all my many scars
Would like to burst these prison bars
And if that means my boat should roll
I pray the Lord would take my soul.
Although I never liked beer
I drank volumes of stuff
But the booze it made me queer
For all my feelings I did drink
I'd forget about my woe
This was my only link
To survival - don't you know
All my bottles I would hide
Nobody ever knew
If questionsed I just lied
And got on a stew
I knew how to pretend
You would hardly be aware
For a drink I'd be your friend
You would think I truly cared
Now, you know I was not able
I went slowly down
Alcoholic - is the label
Then some help I found
