Black night down heavy on my weary brow,
Light shining in the pouring rain.
Can see somehow cold comfort in the broken trees…
But I won't let it bring me to my knees.
I'm not flying, but I'm not drowning now.
Keep driving, don't matter if the highway's lost.
Keep running, never turn your head.
Count the cost ghost waiting where the roads all cross,
Big deal waiting when you get to meet the boss.
Clouds are breaking, I'm not drowning now.
Drowning now…
Flying, but I'm not drowning now.
Sad old man smiling with a shameful grin,
He thinks that we never can lose.
Never beat the dealer when he cuts the pack,
First back to front, then deal front to back.
Now I'm flying, I'm not drowning now!
