The Delgados - Sink or Swim Lyrics

You're a single survivor
Found an ocean between you and those that you lost
Got a phone call this morning
Told your sisters had always been part of the quest
Will they know what you look like
When you step of the bus will they run to your side
Like they know you from photos
Like they know you from stories that kept you alive

Are you gonna sink or swim
From coast to coast is more than you bargain for
Are you gonna lose or win
From ties and lies
Is something worth trying for

When you sit round the table
Will you look into the faces and just see your own
Will you talk of the future
Will you talk of the things that were almost unknown

Are you gonna sink or swim (it's so strange)
From coast to coast is more than you bargain for
Are you gonna lose or win (it's so strange)
From ties and lies
Is something worth trying for
Is something worth trying for
Is something worth trying for
Is something worth trying for
