Drowned (Song lyric).

Image

I sailed out too far
and ran aground
‘cos she looked like an angel
and talked like a woman.
I hit the rocks and my ship went down,
I didn’t see the danger
‘cos I’m only human.
She sailed me out
to the middle of the ocean
took me below and lay me down
then she swamped me with a wave of emotion
and I drowned, drowned, drowned
In her love.

I couldn’t see where I was going
the fog was too thick
eyes were misted up
by clouds of passion.
There was no-one at the helm
to guide the ship,
I thought we were sailing
But we were crashing.
She sailed me out on all seven seas
the swell so high, thunder, lightning all around
I was helpless as she deluged over me
and I drowned, drowned, drowned
in her love.

I was submerged in the flow of her love
and I thought I could swim hard enough,
but I didn’t have my life preserver
so I drowned, drowned, drowned – in her love.

I got hit by a tidal wave
tsunami overwhelmed
from the galley to the top deck.
She swam through it and away
while singing, “Amen!”
Left me sinking
like a shattered shipwreck.
She sailed me out
through tempestuous waves
I flailed in abysmal waters profound
and there I died for one more kiss of her face
As I drowned, drowned, drowned
In her love.
