I did not know how I wanted to drown

Whether in love, liquor or the sea

So I walked to the shore side bar on 52nd

And drank my fill of the three

Every night I came out soaked but still breathing

I never met a woman deep enough to drown me

Or a bottle tall enough to trace a smile across my face

But with the lead feet of a drunk and the lead heart of a scorned lover the sea was appealing enough to swaddle me like a child.
