Richard Thompson Haul Me Up
Oh, haul me up, please help me I'm drowning
Haul me up to where I can breathe
Haul me up where the air is sweeter
Stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please
Well, I'm walking in a sea of molasses
Every step I take oh, it sucks me down
The more I fight, the more that it grips me
If I sink much further, I'm looking to drown
Haul me up, I'm lost in confusion
Haul me up, I'm up to my knees
Haul me up, I'm stuck in the quicksand
Stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please
Haul me up
Oh, haul me up, please help me I'm drowning
Haul me up to where I can breathe
Haul me up where the air is sweeter
Stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please
Now here comes Jezebel, sweet as the morning
Holds out a cup and I'm tempted to drink
Six thousand voices ringing in the rafters
Now how can I dream when I can't even think?
Haul me up, now the banshees are wailing
Haul me up, now the sirens are singing
Haul me up, now the furies are screaming
Oh, stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please
Oh, haul me up
Haul me up, please help me I'm drowning
Haul me up to where I can breathe
Haul me up where the air is sweeter
Stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please
But now I'm fighting but this disease has got me
But what is this sickness that has no name?
Who are these friends that kill me with kindness?
I don't know the rules but I'm trapped in the game
Haul me up, I'm lost in confusion
Haul me up, I'm up to my knees
Haul me up, I'm stuck in the quicksand
Stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please
Haul me up, now the banshees are wailing
Haul me up, oh now the sirens are singing
Haul me up, now the furies are screaming
Stretch out a hand, a hand, brother please
Oh, haul me up, haul me up, haul me up, haul me up
