Sunken Treasure

     by Walbert Brickworks

Wicked weary world

What’s your goal

Where’s your gold

Where’s your shame

I find the game of sink

And swim is much to blame

Playful busy world

Swim in shoals

Sinks of gold

Hearts aflame

Love is just a game

And love is hard to tame

Chorus

Love is hard to tame

And lovers all have names

That’s the part that leaves us feeling free

We swim out to the brink

And then begin to sink 

And pray that Joan of Arc will ride

And put us in the pink

Thoughtful fighting world

Takes its toll on the whole

Soldiers lame 

Women laid down recklessly 

In leaky shame

Mindless calling world

Make your roll

Give your soul

Hearts inflamed 

Taking aim 

At inky blackness down the lane

Chorus 

Love is just a game

And lovers all have names

That’s the part that leaves us feeling free

We swim out to the brink

And then begin to sink

And pray that Joan of Arc will ride

And put us in the pink
