When you're drowning
Do you mind the rain?
When you're drowning, brother
When you're drowning do you
Mind the rain?
Wonder if I'll ever
If I'll ever breathe free again
Fighting for your life
Every breath a handful of sand
Fighting for your life
Every breath a handful of sand
Gonna grab my habit
And leave this land
Eight lungs and counting
How much can one heart take?
Eight lungs and counting
How much can one heart take?
Another operation
And I'm bound to break
Some people come, I hear them come
Most people go
Some people come, hear them come
Most of them go
Do you recall last winter's snow?
Eight lungs and counting
How much can one heart take?
Eight lungs and counting
How much can one heart take?
Another operation
And I'm bound to break
Air rhymes with fear
And the hiss of oxygen
In my ear
Tied to the tubes and sheets
By a brand new disease
Bed sores and sweaty pores
Lord, hear my pleas
The body knows
But I can't remember
Woke in January
Or was it December?
When you're drowning
Do you mind the rain?
When you're drowning, friend
When you're drowning do you
Mind the rain?
Wonder if I'll ever breathe...
