about

Acoustic country ballad about how how don't have to live on an island to feel like you live on an island...

lyrics

lyrics by Lizanne Hennessey

By the water, by the sea
don't know what is gonna come of me
I'd take a ship if I could sail
I'd take a risk, but I know I'd fail
Cuz I'm closed in
on all sides
My day dependent on the tides
I'd take a boat if I could row
I'd take a chance, but I know

I can't walk so I'll have to swim
I'll pack my problems up
and jump right in
Hold my breath till I come up
so cross your fingers for me,
wish me luck
Before you know it, I'll have been
beside you all along
then before you know it I'll be gone

So I'll stay on
Dry Land

A seagull hasn't got a care
He lifts himself right up into the air
I'd grow wings if I knew how
But that won't stop me now
cuz I'm a prisoner of the undertoe
And I'm too scared to let it go
I'd take a boat if I could row
I'd take a chance, but I know

I can't walk so I'll have to swim
I'll pack my problems up
and jump right in
Hold my breath till I come up
so cross your fingers for me,
wish me luck
Before you know it, I'll have been
beside you all along
then before you know it I'll be gone

So I'll stay on
Dry Land
