Bent Van Looy Sink or Swim song lyrics

you came back around, evening tide

rolling into town, no one knows quite what went wrong

there's no need to come on so strong

you escaped the hounds, friend of mine

but you're losing ground, it's high time to take a bow

settle for less or drown

everyday we seem to laugh less

it's the time of year I think

I will guide you through the darkness and buy you a drink

now it's bend or break, valentine

catch a lucky break

or try the time to get away from the dishes, the bills, the shakes

everyday we seem to laugh less

it's the time of year I think

I will guide you through the darkness and buy you a drink

I'll buy you a drink, now let me tell you something, I'll tell you something

everyday we seem to talk less

it's the time of year I think

I will guide you through the darkness and buy you a drink

oh, I'll buy you a drink

Oh, I know it seems a fine mess

that you and I are in

but you know

we're in it together, it's sink or it's swim

look who made it through

my, oh, my

not a day to soon

oh I know you're only passing through
