[Intro]
[Verse 1]
he stumbled backwards through the door
he smelled of gin and cold cold smoke
his wife and kids feared nothing more
this night his ship has left the shore
[Chorus]
no one else could feel his pain
he lost the game once more again
the tide is coming in
[Verse 2]
sweat ran down his furrowed face
he shivered like an earthquake
once he was full of grace
but the benjamins took his faith
[Chorus]
no one else could feel his pain
he lost the game once more again
the tide is coming in
he left his home as a man
now he needs a helping hand
come back home like a man
[Bridge]
he didn t know how this could happen
he didn t know a way out
so he left them with a weapon
and birds rose up through the clouds
[Chorus]
no one else could feel his pain
he lost the game once more again
the tide is coming in
he left his home as a man
now he needs a helping hand
come back home like a man
[Outro]
he left his home as a man
now he needs a helping hand
come back home like a man
