(Throw Me A) Lifeline

(album: Brownsville Station - 1977)

Well, you know I've sailed the ship alone
Dreaming hard case I found a storm
Now I'm asking for you to understand
'Cause your lover needs a helping hand

Throw me a lifeline
Save my love again
Throw me a lifeline
Save a drowning man
Throw me a lifeline
Save my love again
'Cause I'm your friend

Set my sails high tide and fancy free
And my ship was as gold as vanity
And I'm a captain with a ship without a crew
And I'm drifting I gotta get home to you

Throw me a lifeline
Save my love again
Throw me a lifeline
Save a drowning man
Throw me a lifeline
Save my love again
'Cause I'm your friend

Well, the sails came down we'd run aground
You know that played a part
'Cause on that ship of fools, darling
I been the Captain from the start

Throw me a lifeline
Save my love again
Throw me a lifeline
Save a drowning man
Throw me a lifeline
Save my love again
'Cause I'm your friend

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Whew!
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Whew!
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
