verse 1
A/G A A/G A
One day as I was sailing on the Caribbean Sea
G A
I spied a little fishing vessel drifting aimlessly
A/G A A/G A
Her sails were torn and tattered, and her wheel was spinning free
G A
I told myself that little boat sure looks a lot like me

verse 2
A/G A A/G A
As I pulled along beside her and I climbed upon her deck
G A
In the silence I could feel the hair a-rising on my neck
A/G A A/G A
And I thought as I walked through the empty quarters down below
G A
That lost abandoned vessel was the sister of my soul
D
'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide
A G A
And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink
D
Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide
E A
I won't even make a ripple when I sink

That seemed to say there ain't no way to leave this floating grave

And when I scrambled to the deck my ship had vanished like a dream

Leaving nothing but the lonely waves to hear my silent scream

'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide

And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink

Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide
