Better Drowned Than Duffers The Divine Comedy

The darkness creeps
Across the lake
I used to be afraid of it
Until father told me
That if you can't see them
They can't see you

Better drowned than duffers, if not duffers
Won't drown, no father and no mother
Around, just me to see that we're okay
Just me

I'll navigate
The starlit seas
They look to me to lead the way
Prove to mother and father that they
Can trust their eldest son

Better drowned than duffers, if not duffers
Won't drown, no father and no mother
Around, just me to see that we're okay
Just me

Better drowned than duffers, if not duffers
Won't drown, no father
I won't let you down father
I won't let you down father
