Drowning On Dry Land - Manfred Mann's Earth Band


[Intro]
   


[Verse]
            
Sitting in a s

ilent room
             
The walls arou

      
nd me screamin

g
     
Rely on nothin

g wait on no-o

ne
             
Standing betwe

   
en light and d

ark
             
Watch the mirr

    
ors gleaming
      
Shine on nothi

ng showing no-

one


[Chorus]
       
Drowning on dr


y land

Cast adrift on

 an empty sea
            
Drowning on dr


y land
          
Put aside with

              
 the will to b

      
e


[Verse]
             
Stranded at th

  
e break of daw

n
             
And where the 

        
story's ending
     
Tells of nothi

ng hearing no-

one
             
I stand withou

    
t a word to sa

y
             
The silent roo

     
m is empty
     
Sings of nothi

              
ng changing no

     
-one


[Chorus]
       
Drowning on dr


y land

Cast adrift on

 an empty sea
            
Drowning on dr


y land
          
Put aside with

              
 the will to b
