Lyrics Rescue Me - Horslips

Rescue Me

I cried out no-one listened to me,
Busy climbing the family tree,
Oh the lines I’ve wasted.
I came late, should’ve come when they called,
You can’t run with your back to the wall,
Oh the times I’ve tasted.
I’m lost at sea, I’m free at last,
And in the night my dreams roll past,
I wish those golden fantasies could last and last,
Cos I thought I knew the signs pointin' my way home,
I didn’t think the time would ever come when,
I’d drift the sea alone, searching for a line,
I’m sinkin I’m drowin'
Rescue me.
Nine days on a ship in the sea,
I heard them calling, calling for me,
But I lay low and waited,
I can’t swim and I don’t understand,
This passion for arable land,
I lay low and waited.
Now lost at sea I’m free at last,
And in the night my dreams roll past,
I wish those golden fantasies could last and last,
Cos I thought I knew the signs pointin' my way home,
I didn’t think the time would ever come when,
I’d drift the sea alone searching for a line,
I’m sinkin', I’m drowin',
Rescue me.
I’m lost at sea I’m free at last,
And in the night my dreams roll past
I wish those golden fantasies could last and last.
Cos I thought I knew the signs pointin' my way home,
I didn’t think the time would ever come when,
I’d drift the sea alone searching for a line,
I’m sinkin', I’m drownin'
Rescue me.
Nine days on a ship in the sea.
I heard them callin' callin' for me,
But I lay low and waited.
