Isobel Campbell - Ballad Of The Broken Seas lyrics

I bring you a tale of the broken seas And I'm drowning in whisky and beer My doctor reports if I don't stop soon I'll drown in an ocean of tears I looked to you and saw my desire Went from the frying pan into the fire Surrendered to sorrow and was undone Now I'm praying that it won't be long We f**ed up the sun into kingdom come You are under my blood and my skin Living life at each other's throats In the gilded sailboat of sin Ours was an ocean to swim around in Ours was an ocean I should have drowned in My doctor reports that we must be strong But I'm praying that it won't be long
