Ocean Awash The Gunwale Lyrics - Allman Brothers Band

Our lives are hanging in the balance 

Or they're dangling by a thread 

A spark of life brought down from an angel 

To raise the stranger from the dead 

Once more we're cheating on the reaper 

With all the gypsy in our souls 

Cause I know there's a God up in heaven 

Who must love rock and roll 

Once again we sail home to Sarasota 

As the ocean awash the gunwale 

But she still keeps her head above water 

Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale

And here's to the you for always hangin' in 

Without you there's no reason to go 

I'd be lying face down in some river 

Waiting on an angel to take me back home 

Once again we sail home to Sarasota 

with the ocean awash the gunwale 

But she still keeps her head above water 

Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale

Once again we sail home to Sarasota 

with the ocean awash the gunwale 

But she still keeps her head above water 

Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale
