As I sit at this bar and drink it over thoughts of you keep running through my mind So I build myself a ship inside this bottle sail away leave all my blues behind Ship in the bottle don't you fail me I'm drowning in my sorrow can't you see Ship in the bottle please sail me where that rising tide of hurt can't get to me [ dobro ] I board my ship and sail all through my bottle My friends say it's through water on my brain But I'm in high spirits even though they're liquid I've finally found the way to ease my pain Ship in the bottle please sail me I'm drowning in my sorrow can't you see Ship in the bottle don't you fail me keep that rising tide of hurt away from me Keep that rising tide of hurt away from me LyricsFreak
