Like He's Drowning Lyrics

In the crowded bar

In a sea of conversation

One voice is singing

Singing like he's drowning

And he plays his guitar

In loud desperation

Singing like a drowning man

Well he scans the room

Looking for a rescue

Someone who will listen

And will pull him to the surface

And he grabs his guitar

And he prays for flotation

Singing like a drowning man

Yes he's singing like a drowning man

Others might suffer in silence

But he prefers to let his suffering resound

They may not listen

But they'll hear him just the same

And they'll know

Here stands a man who might drown

In the crowded bar

Others might suffer in silence

But he prefers to think his suffering profound

They may not listen

But they'll hear him just the same

And they'll know

Here stands a man who might drown

In the crowded bar

In a sea of talking voices

One voice is singing

Singing like he's drowning

And he plays his guitar

And he knows the only choice is

To keep singing

Singing

Singing like a drowning man
