Drag You Away

[Verse 1]
When all of your living's one long last stand
And you're looking around for a friendly hand
But your friends have all sailed off to some other land
Where their battles demand
And you're left here to fight on the best you can
Your back's to the ocean, trying to defend
Those reasons that made you the kind of man
Who's left alone on the sand

[Chorus]
Oh, don't let those blue waves drag you away
No, don't let those blue waves drag you away
Drag you away
Don't let them drag you away

[Verse 2]
When you're floating in oceans lost and deserts of sea
You can send out a message: "Please come and save me"
With your notes go bottled hopes that somebody might read
And won't they send some relief?
If you're just treading water, your face up for air
Soaked-through and heavy, both tired and scared
But those waves keep on rolling, you wish someone were holding you
Up from despair

[Chorus]
Don't let those blue waves drag you away
No, don't let those blue waves drag you away
Drag you away
Don't let them drag you away
Drag you away
Don't let them drag you away

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been pushed around, held down
You've been bobbin' up and down
Merely drown
But there's hope to be found

[Chorus]
For don't let those blue waves drag you away
No, don't let those blue waves drag you away
Drag you away
Don't let them drag you away
Drag you away
Don't let them drag you away

[Outro]
Down from that blue sky
They'll come and carry you away
