As I sit at this bar and drink it over thoughts of you keep running through my mind
So I build myself a ship inside this bottle sail away leave all my blues behind
Ship in the bottle don`t you fail me I`m drowning in my sorrow can`t you see
Ship in the bottle please sail me where that rising tide of hurt can`t get to me
[ dobro ]
I board my ship and sail all through my bottle
My friends say it`s through water on my brain
But I`m in high spirits even though they`re liquid
I`ve finally found the way to ease my pain
Ship in the bottle please sail me I`m drowning in my sorrow can`t you see
Ship in the bottle don`t you fail me keep that rising tide of hurt away from me
Keep that rising tide of hurt away from me
