Lyrics of Roger D’Arcy – Lifeboat

I would leave the beaten track for you but I’m no guide
Change horses in mid stream for you but I don’t ride
I’d keep my feelings out of sight but I’ve no place to hide
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

I’d tell you that I understand but I don’t lie
Save the day like Superman but I don’t fly
I’d wipe away the tears for you but I’m the one who cries
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools, they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in

I would turn and fight another day but I won’t swerve
Fall upon my knees to pray but I don’t serve
I’d gladly sell my soul for you but I know what it’s worth
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools and they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in’

Far too many souls climbed in

There’s nothing I can leave behind that I can spare
You’re wrong to think that I’m unkind, that I don’t care
It’s too late for you to look for me ‘cos I’m no longer there
I’m afraid that what you see is what you get

Though tonight I may be drunk
In the morning I’ll be sober
But fools will still be fools. they will tell you foolish things
And my lifeboat has been sunk
I was wrong to overload her
I tried to save some souls but far too many souls climbed in
