(Suzy Bogguss/Gary Scruggs)



Nail and hammer, hammer and nail

I need a lifeboat that's set to sail

Across this ocean of tears I've cried

The time has come to turn the tire



Thread and needle, needle and thread

I need a sail made of crimson red

I wanna be seen from miles away

I'm lost at sea and I wanna be saved



Blow wind blow and set me free

A storm called love made a wreck of me

I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark

All my dreams lie torn apart

At the bottom of my deep blue heart



Pen and paper, paper and pen

I need a bottle to put a message in

And I hope it won't sink to the ocean floor

I'm still a far cry from the shore



Blow wind blow and set me free

A storm called love made a wreck of me

I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark

All my dreams lie torn apart

At the bottom of my deep blue heart
