Ocean Awash The Gunwale — Allman Brothers Band, The

By g.allman, d. toler & t. colton

Our lives are hanging in a balance Or they're dangling by a thread A spark of life brought down from an angel To raise the stranger from the dead Once more we're cheating on the With all the gypsy in our souls Cause i know there's 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 we're all gonna live to tell this tale

Here's to the boys in the band forever hangin' on Without you there's no reason to go I'd 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 we're 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 we're all gonna live to tell this tale
