Sinkin' (Swampgrass)
Linne Black c.2021

v1
Since your love went south it's been rainin'
Deep-runnin' gullies cuttin' through the yard
Our little mountain cabin's just barely hangin'
Like me, this ole' leaky roof's 'bout to fall apart

Chorus
Sun pulls up the cover, keeps on sleepin'
Dark clouds hover, hangin' 'round grievin',and they ain't leavin'
Just rain, mud and tears, oh, how I hate to think it...
Water's risin' higher, I'm slippin' lower
Sinkin'..... Sinkin'

v2
Slid down a muddy hillside to the flooded bottom
Old wooden footbridge washed out at the creek
Our dirt road's in the river, highway is swallowed
No way that I can reach you, girl, far as I can see

Chorus
Sun pulls up the cover, keeps on sleepin'
Dark clouds hover, just hangin' 'round grievin',and they ain't leavin'
Just rain, mud and tears, oh, my hope is shrinkin'...
Water's risin' higher, I'm slippin' lower
Sinkin'..... Sinkin'

Bridge
Losin' you is the reason my whole world is cryin'
If you were back in my arms, the sun would be shinin'

Musical break

Chorus
The sun pulls up the cover, keeps on sleepin'
Dark clouds hover, just hangin' 'round grievin',and they ain't leavin'
Just rain, mud and tears, oh, I feel like drinkin'....
Water's risin' higher, I'm slippin' lower
Sinkin'..... Sinkin'...Sinkin'
