Plynth

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.

And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me
Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Comes on down to the ground as time goes by.

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
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
Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away
And oh, doctors can't help. A ghost of a man, that's me.
