Cold-cold ashes on the groundNothing lost and nothing foundFriends and loved ones falling downCan't you hear that mournful sound?Nothing left but memoriesOf things I still can't stand to seeThere's an empty spot in meWhere my hometown used to beThis old boat is taking waterIt won't be long 'til it goes downWe've had enough to push us overTime to turn the wheel aroundNeighborhoods Left to decayPeople died or walked awayNowhere left for them to stayAnd we just look the other wayThis old boat is taking waterIt won't be long 'til it goes downWe've had enough to push us overTime to turn the wheel aroundWaves keep pounding through the nightLost without a ray of lightGoing down without a fightIs there still time to make it right?This old boat is taking waterIt won't be long 'til it goes downWe've had enough to push us overTime to turn the wheel aroundThis old boat is taking waterIt won't be long 'til it goes downWe've had enough to push us overTime to turn the wheel around
