(Better) Change Your Mind
Lyrics by Judith Garvin Bickel
I drew a line in the sand,
You said you’d never cross
But she follows you, an albatross
You wear her around your neck
Not seeing the luck she brings
Blinding you to the castles we built
Now I float on my back cursing your name
While you swim past riding the waves
CHORUS
C’mon honey, bring your ship back to shore
Don’t let that woman steer no more
Change your mind before she drags you down
You better change your mind before you drown
Can’t you the see storm clouds up ahead?
Better jump ship or you’ll wind up dead
You swore we’d weather it all
Long ago on dry land
You’re a drunken sailor lending a hand
To a made-up mermaid needing a man
Don’t you see the luck she brings?
Whirlpools of hate dragging us down
Our vows of forever spin around
Ain’t no treasures of gold to be found
Lost at sea, you and I are lost at sea
CHORUS
C’mon honey, bring your ship back to shore
Don’t let that woman steer no more
Change your mind before she drags you down
You better change your mind before you drown
Can’t you the see storm clouds up ahead?
Better jump ship or you’ll wind up dead
This hole’s too deep, we’re sinking fast
Why'd you swear this love would last?
While looking for somewhere else to dock
I watched it all, a Widow's Walk
Lord, why couldn’t I see the luck she’d bring?
Laughing Harpie blew out our fire
Turning our love, a funeral pyre
Better steer clear you don’t get burnt
Lost at sea, you’re both lost at sea
CHORUS
C’mon honey, bring your ship back to shore
Don’t let that woman steer no more
Change your mind before she drags you down
You better change your mind before you drown
Can’t you the see storm clouds up ahead?
Better jump ship or you’ll wind up dead
Lost at sea, we’re all lost at sea
Baby, why can't you rescue me?
