I've woken up on mornings such as this

And thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now

Every night for a year I've slept alone

My cold damp room looks worse than me.



I got a fear of death that creeps on every night

I know I won't die soon but then again I might

Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away

And oh, doctors can't help. A ghost of a man, that's me.



I'm going far

Ah, ah, ah



And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea

The pattern of my life keeps a-hauntin' me

Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky

Comes on down to the ground as time goes by.



Ah, ah, ah

Please don't weep for me when I'm gone

Ah, ah, ah



I got a fear of death that creeps on every night

I know I won't die soon but then again I might

Please don't weep for me when I'm gone

Ah, ah, ah

A fear of death that creeps on every night
