Drowing On Dry Land/fish Soup (Slade)
Manfred Mann · Other Songs - Manfred Mann
The walls around me screaming
Rely on nothing wait on no one
Standing between light and dark
Watch the mirrors gleaming
Shine on nothing showing no one
Drowning on dry land
Cast adrift on an empty sea
Drowning on dry land
Put aside with the will to be
Stranded at the break of dawn
And where the stories ending
Tells of nothing hearing no one
I stand without a word to say
The silent room is empty
Sings of nothing changing no one
