Lyrics to: Ocean Awash The Gunwale
By Artist: Allman Brothers Band
By g.allman, d. toler & t. colton
Our lives are hanging in a balance
Or theyre dangling by a thread
A spark of life brought down from an angel
To raise the stranger from the dead
Once more were cheating on the
With all the gypsy in our souls
Cause I know theres a God up in heaven
Who must love rock and roll
Once again we sail home to sarasota
With the ocean awash the gunwale
But she still keeps her head above water
Guess were all gonna live to tell this tale
Heres to the boys in the band forever hangin on
Without you theres no reason to go
Id be lying face down in some river
Waiting on an angel to take me back home
Once again we sail home to sarasota
With the ocean awash the gunwale
But she still keeps her head above water
Guess were all gonna live to tell this tale
Solo:
Once again we sail home to sarasota
With the ocean awash the gunwale
But she still keeps her head above water
Guess were all gonna live to tell this tale
