Lyrics
Show me the dawn and let's set sail today
Got to find a way to make it pay
Breaking the law and taking a free ride
Taking it all the way playing a danger game
She can't go on living like that
She thinks she's strong, telling me to turn back
Making it on her own leaving it all behind
Does she even know
the love she left behind
Doesn't she hear them calling out to her
as she walks away
she never shows her pain
Whatever she wanted never came to be
Was it lost at sea
Another tragedy.
She can't go on living like that
She thinks she's strong, telling me to turn back
Making it on her own leaving it all behind
Does she even know
the love she left behind
Baby
oh she can't go on
No she can't go on
living like that
I wasn't the only one to see the signs
Now it's up to her
Will she change her mind
The water's calm and the tide is high
While the time is right
Leave it all behind
She can't go on living like that...
