lyrics

I've been living out of context, I've been writing that way too.
There was a ship there was an ocean and the other ship was you.
Now I'm standing on the dry land with water in my ears
There's a story i'd have chosen but that one's far from here

Oh, I just smile and I move along
Oh, I keep waving 'til you're really gone
Oh, I am working on the final line
Oh, here it is I wish it wasn't mine

If you cannot be a ship, then be a stone
And if you cannot sink together
Sink alone

The hardest truth is at the bottom, I am finding it out
And when everything is quiet it's the loudest thing around

At the bottom of the ocean, there's a heartbeat in your ears
The music stops with eyes wide open, where do you go from here?

Oh, sinking ships that keep sailing on
Oh, you won't love me 'til i'm really gone
Oh, I am working on the final line
Oh, here it is I wish it wasn't mine

If you cannot be a ship, then be a stone
And if you cannot sink together
Sink alone

Oh, now the ocean finally spits me up
Oh, I am Jonah this is Nineveh
Oh, I am working on the final line
Oh, here it is I wish it wasn't mine

If you cannot be a ship, then be a stone
And if you cannot sink together
Sink alone

Marshall McLean Band Spokane, Washington

The MMBand was born out of the Northwest, and it carries with it the unique sound that is becoming distinct to this part of the country. The four-piece band, based out of Spokane, has brought forth a fresh idea; that one can merge elements of thoughtful songwriting in folk, the driving force of rock, and the melodic accessibility of Americana and carve out a new genre, a kind of NW Americana Rock ... more
