Lake of Vinegar

Please don't fall in love tonight
Just go on home
I saw the man give up the fight
If he's got some place to go
I never get the message
That's washed up on the sand
I wake up in some strange place
And the bottles in my hand
I'm grateful for your company
You sponge my brow and soak me in cold water
As it tastes so sour
I can't budge from my mouth
Across the lake of vinegar
I roll my boat so far
But never call her
The night was dark as she was nowhere
To be found

I never get the message
That's washed up on the sand
I wake up in some strange place
With the bottles in my hand
Take off my clothes and take me in
I'm sick and lonely so in need of shelter
Don't let me be misunderstood again

So drown the drink
I nearly fell head over heels
To kiss the captains daughter
I know I can't complain about a thing
