The Sailor Lyrics - Singles - Deciding Tonight

A sailor at sea for years 

With weathered skin, an untamed beard 

Somewhere hidden within he had a secret, he couldn't swim 

Suddenly pulled overboard 50 yards from shore 

A belt of lead around his waist pulled him to the floor 

This sailor he won't flail his chest is filled with pride 

In this life I can't swim, but soon I'm gonna fly 

I'd rather drown tonight than let them know that I can't swim 

That's what he said as he sunk to the bottom 

Now his secret is safe at the bottom of the sea 

Buried just like treasure that's where it will be 

It's a treasure no man wants or ever will seek 

His secret is safe with me 

I'd rather drown tonight than let them know that I can't swim 

That's what he said as he sunk to the bottom 

I'd rather drown tonight (I'd rather drown tonight) 

Than let them know that I can't swim (I'd rather drown tonight) 

That's what he said (I'd rather drown tonight) 

As he sunk to the bottom 

Rather drown tonight than let them know that I can't swim 

That's what he said as he sunk to the bottom
