lyrics

Don’t offer a rope to a drowning man
Unless you’re prepared to hold your end
Don’t leave him floundering
Don’t promise to save him then walk away
And leave him alone to battle the waves
He’s taking a pounding

Your empty promises
Won’t help him now
Your empty rhetoric
Is weighing him down

Don’t offer hope to a dying man
Unless you’re prepared to hold his hand
Don’t leave him suffering
Don’t tell him the lies that he wants to hear
And leave him alone to drown in his fears
Hey don’t fuck with him

Your empty promises
Won’t save him now
Your absent silences
Are bringing him down

Don’t offer a rope to a drowning man
Unless you’re prepared to hold your end
Don’t offer hope to a dying man
Unless you’re prepared to hold his hand

Your empty promises
Won’t save him now
Your absent silences
Are bringing him down
Your empty promises
Won’t help him now
Your empty rhetoric
Is weighing him down

Don’t offer a rope to a drowning man
Unless you’re prepared to hold your end
Don’t offer hope to a dying man
Unless you’re prepared to hold his hand

Your empty promises
Won’t save him now
Your absent silences
Are bringing him down
Your empty promises
Won’t help him now
Your empty rhetoric
Is weighing him down

about

David Fuller Melbourne, Australia

I am a Melbourne based songwriter. I write about the things I see, the things I feel, the things that intrigue me and move me. I have eclectic tastes in music, but my heart always drifts back to 70s and 80s rock. My own music draws from that rich well; a blend of rock, blues, soul, funk and jazz. ... more
