A Rock to Cling To

[Verse 1]
Drifting further out to sea
My strength will soon be leaving me
Our ships have sunk or run aground
And only sharks now swim around
Smashed and battered by the waves
Still hold out hope of being saved
And every passing ship a chance
Salvation in a touching glance

[Chorus]
I may need dreams from time to time
But dreams aren't keeping me alive
My dreams have torn my life in two
Now I just need a rock to cling to

[Verse 2]
I'm often closer than I think
Yet my grip is far too weak
I grab a box and swim away
Time and time and time again
But not for me this time, I guess
And then the next and then the next
Is my fear of being saved
Greater than my fear of crashing waves?

[Chorus]
I may need dreams from time to time
But dreams aren't keeping me alive
My dreams have torn my life in two
Now I just need a rock to cling to
