Undertow

(album: Undertow - 1979)

Trying not to lose myself
in the women and the wine
Trying not to change my point of view
Hoping I can keep my feet
above the waterline
Even after all my dreams come true
In a sea of motion
Water edged with foam
Clinging to the things I used to know
Swallowed by an ocean
Sinking like a stone
But I'm drowning in the undertow
Trying not to lose myself
in the glitter and the gold
Trying not to change the way I see
Hoping I can keep my eyes
on things that stay the same
'Cause I cannot keep my hold
Even on the things I know are real
Caught upon the waters
of some dark and nameless sea
Whoa let the current carry me
Trying not to lose myself
in the fortune and the fame
Trying not to change the way I see
Hoping I can keep my eyes
on the things that stay the same
and disregard the things that seem to be
