Deciding Tonight - The Sailor lyrics

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
