I once was a floating paddle wheel
Til 1901 there was a powerful storm
Tossed us around and broke our ability
Plunged us into the heart of Lake LaBarge

Now I’m just a deep dark frozen feeling
Deep dark waters are not exactly rosy, when I’m
Looking up through the lake at the blue of the sky
Hoping to be found, maybe even in the morning

I’ve been sunken here a hundred years
Missin’ my dead friends and their salty tears
The water so cold and so breathless
It’s taking care of me, my metal and wood,

Time’s gone by and the world’s still around
Don’t need me no more, they’re faster than sound
But their bones are achin’ for calamity
Shipwreck obsession will be the life of me

Now I’m just a deep dark frozen feeling
Deep dark waters are not exactly rosy, when I’m
Looking up through the lake at the blue of the sky
Hoping to be found, maybe even in the morning

I have been in this womb long, long time
Wouldn’t mind to see the other side
Don’t slap me too hard, for my bones might break
Be ever so careful for my heart is at stake

Break

In open air, the chances increases
Of a waterlogged hull falling to pieces
But new friends with salty tears come down
To see me and touch me, I am lost and found.

I’m just a deep dark frozen feeling
All this water has made my vision blurry
Doesn’t matter, I don’t seem to be in a hurry
Hoping to be found, maybe even in the morning

I’m just a deep dark frozen feeling
Deep dark waters are not exactly rosy, when I’m
Looking up through the lake at the blue of the sky
Hoping to be found, maybe even in the morning
