Sinkin' Like A Stone
© 2016 Hank Thomas/ all rights reserved


We were cruising like an ocean liner sailin' right along
Didn't see that broadside comin', now I'm sinkin' like a stone
I thought we had a perfect love, now I'm floating in the eye of the storm
I'm drifting along, trying to make it back to the shore

Pre
Some body throw me a line 'cause I'm out here, all alone
I'm a wreck of a man, and I'm sinking like a stone
CH1
Some body throw me a line 'cause I'm out here, all alone
I'm a wreck of a man, and I'm sinking like a stone
Since you're shoving off I'm flounderin' in distress
So I'm sending you this message S.O.S.
Now I'm drowning in a sea of madness out on my own
I'm a wreck of a man, and I'm sinking like a stone

I'm barely treading water, goin' down for the count of three
I'm Tryin' to keep from going under after what you've done to me

Pre
There's a bad storm ragin', and I'm down here on my knees
Tidal wave's crashin and my heart's about to seize

CH2
I'm a wreck of a man, and I'm sinking like a stone
Somebody throw me a line 'cause I'm out here, all alone
Since you're shoving off I'm flounderin' in distress
So I'm sending you this message S.O.S.
Now I'm drowning in a sea of madness out on my own
I'm a wreck of a man, and I'm sinking like a stone

I'm a wreck of a man, and I'm sinking like a stone
There's tidal wave crashin' and I'm out here, all alone

Yeah, I'm a wreck of a man, and I'm sinking like a stone

Nice early Fleetwood Mac/Bob Welch/Walter Egan zone--a southern California/Laurel Canyon groove not unlike what came out in the first half of the 70's. This is still golden to many of us...great song, production and performance. Thanks for this tune!

This song is really good. Great hook.

I like the sound of the drums and the rhythm guitar, great lyrics and hook as well. The song has a cool driving style, sounds a bit like Tom Petty.
