"in my dream, i was drowning my sorrows,
but my sorrows they learned to swim." --U2, "until the end of the world"

(not the same, but similar idea...)

Voice of the Beehive

It's from the "Let it Bee" LP. "Sorrow Floats".

Whether they quoted it or not, I don't know.

I think it's from The Hotel New Hampshire. "Sorrow floats" is a recurring theme.

I have a version of that as a tagline.

I tried to drown my sorrows. The little bastards learned to swim.

I think it was Frida Kahlo (?sp) who is attributed with saying "I drank to drown my sorrows but the damn things learned to swim". I could be wrong on who it was though.

Just made me think of that reading this post.
