April Showers – Abandon Ship lyrics

Midnight bells are ringing now,
Another year dissolves,
While everybody's hand in hand and singing now,
I don't feel too involved.

Clinging to my seat as others,
Laugh all long and loud,
Oh would you send me someone somewhere,
Who can help me escape from the crowd?

Abandon Ship,
Before my troubles,
Starts to rise above me,
Abandon Ship,
Why don't you come on in?
The water's lovely.

Take my hand and dance with me,
And please don't say a word,
All you have to do is take a chance with me,
I don't know if you've heard?

I might not be here tomorrow,
My future looks bleak,
So why not spend the time that isn't ours to borrow,
And before you speak.

Abandon Ship,
Before my troubles,
Starts to rise above me,
Abandon Ship,
Why don't you come on in?
The water's lovely.

Follow me I know a place where we could be,
All alone for a million years.

We could be
On a date with destiny,
Close the door,
Make sure that no one hears.

In one year and out the other,
We're running all our rest,
While everyone around me seems to run for cover,
I can't get out of bed.

Meet me here,
This time next year,
We must do this again,
While everybody else,
Is drowning in their tears,
We'll still remember when.

Abandon Ship,
Before my troubles
Start to rise above me,
Abandon Ship,
Why don't you come on in?
The water's lovely.

Abandon Ship,
Before my troubles
Start to rise above me,
Abandon Ship,
Why don't you come on in?
The water's lovely.
