lirik lagu janis ian – the drowning man
he said, “grab any stool, put your belly to the bar”
i’m not such a fool, i know just who you are
it’s been too many years and not enough time
have a cup of my tears, they’ve been watered with wine
i am the drowning man, i am the drowning man
there once was a girl, every story starts that way
she lit up my world like a fireworks display
and the flame drew me near but it frightened me more
so i met her with water and i rained ‘til i poured
now i am the drowning man, i am the drowning man
i’m drowning in jiggers and i’m drowning in smoke
i’m drowning in rivers where the fish gasp and choke
i have drowned my tomorrows just to drown out my past
now i drown all my sorrows at the bottom of this gl-ss
‘cause i am the drowning man, i am the drowning man
i won’t die for money and i won’t die for love
and i won’t die for beauty or the good lord above
but i’ll die for a dream whose heart is engraved
in the rocks and the reefs of my watery grave
i am the drowning man, i am the drowning man
