The crest of the waves break over my head
My strenght`s about gone and soon I`ll be dead
I`d rather be dead out here in the sea than to love a woman who never loved me
Oh the water`s so cold out here in the dark
The water`s so cold as cold as your heart
The lights from the shore are fast growing dim the water`s so cold I can hardly swim
I offered my ring I offered my name she said you`re a child she put me to shame
If she saw me now she`d have to agree most men couldn`t swim this far out to sea
Oh the water`s so cold...
The water`s so cold I can hardly swim
