Lyrics
Help Me Crossover
m.litton
Help me crossover, don’t let me go down
Don’t let me roll under ‘neath the terrible thunder
Please don’t let me drown
A ship in the bottle is lost to the sea
And I’ve let the bottle form its wall around me
It’s dark as a dungeon, cold as a tomb
Just help me crossover, don’t say it’s over
Girl, I still need you
And all of my reasons were whiskey-soaked lies
But babe don’t you leave, please won’t you stay
And help me climb
Over the wall of this hangover hell
Help me crossover, help me crossover
Help me crossover, don’t let me fail
Your love is gentle, to love me is hard
You’re caught in the middle between me ‘n the bars
I’ll make you no promise, that’s the backslider’s line
Just help me crossover and I’ll stay sober
One day at a time
And all of my reasons were whiskey-soaked lies
But babe don’t you leave, please won’t you stay
And help me climb
Over the wall of this hangover hell
Help me crossover, help me crossover
Help me crossover, don’t let me fail
