If I’m the one who caused your shipwrecked life
Then hold my hand, run to the fire
And I’ll bear this cross of love
And not for you, and not for me yea
Even though the water’s all around, climbing higher

Oh our ship’s sinking in ruin and I swear
I won’t be long but I won’t let go
So don’t stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not willing to let you go

I booked the passage on a ship I’ve seen
But I lead the lamb right to the slaughter
We survived the storm somehow
I missed it then, I see it now
It’s a wonder I’m not layin face down in water

Oh our ship’s sinking in ruin and I swear
I won’t be long but I won’t let go
So don’t stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not willing to let you go

Oh our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
For ten good reasons you can’t believe
So just stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

Blue sky, I can hear the thunder
These things will drag me under
It’s a wonder I’m not layin face down in water

Oh our ship’s sinking in ruin and I swear
I won’t be long but I won’t let go
So don’t stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not willing to let you go

Oh our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
For ten good reasons you can’t believe
So just stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

Our ship’s sinking
Oh our ship’s sinking
Our ship’s sinking
Oh our ship’s sinking

Rick Springfield (born Richard Lewis Springthorne, 23 August 1949) is an Australian musician and actor. In his teenage years he lived in England where he joined various bands. In 1968, Pete Watson invited him to join Rockhouse (the name of the group was soon changed to MPD Ltd). After a tour in South Vietnam Springfield and the drummer Danny Finley formed Wickedly Wak.

In September 1969, Rick replaced Roger Hicks in the pop rock group Zoot. He had written various songs before the band broke up. Springfield commenced his solo career signing with Sparmac Records. In 1973, he started performing for Columbia Records. He released his best-known hit, “Jessie’s Girl”, in 1981 in the album Working Class Dog, and continues recording music nowadays.
