The Sinking Ship Lyrics

Lyric discussion by AnnDriscoll 

Cover art for The Sinking Ship lyrics by Ann Driscoll

*The ship is sinking fast - a freighter with a broken mast the children watch in awe off the beach on Mackinac

*the sunlight off the lake - cast the smiles we have to fake. there's an endless blue below into which our teardrops flow

*Once a new machine, the engine clogged with poison steam. The frightened children know, we had to give up long ago.

*We tried to draw the scene, for our memories' tv screens Cause the ship won't rise again: it was made and sank in Michigan.
