(Suzy Bogguss/Gary Scruggs)

Nail and hammer, hammer and nail
I need a lifeboat that's set to sail
Across this ocean of tears I've cried
The time has come to turn the tire

Thread and needle, needle and thread
I need a sail made of crimson red
I wanna be seen from miles away
I'm lost at sea and I wanna be saved

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart

Pen and paper, paper and pen
I need a bottle to put a message in
And I hope it won't sink to the ocean floor
I'm still a far cry from the shore

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart
