Let it Drown

from In The Skin Of A Man by Tony Farris

/

lyrics

Another bullet into my chest
Another badge upon my vest
Another war that's won and lost
And another coin that's hardly been tossed
And it's about time it's all gone down
And it's about time we let it go and drown

(chorus)
Lock the door, forget the key
We have no need for these things you see
Who's to say it's not a quack
Just a clever ruse made to draw me back

Is this solid ground on which I stand
Or am I slowly sinking down into the sand
Have we finally gone and lost it all
Are there any problems left that we could try to solve
And it's about time it's all gone down
It's about time we let it go and drown

(Chorus)

I'm too far gone down this lonely road
And it's a long way back to what I hardly know
Just let me go and let me be
For you'll never care for the ways I see

Another wall to guard the chest
Of all the valuables and memories I've kept
Of all the wonders and things I've seen
And all the dreams I never dreamed I could be
And it's about time that walls gone down
And it's about time we let it go and drown
Yes, it's about time that walls gone down
And it's about time we let it go and drown
