Drowning — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

I dont love you

But Im lost

Thinking of you

And the ghosts

Of so many special moments

That passed so quickly at the time

And now they come and track me down

And echo round and round and round

And time goes quickly

Or disappears completely

And I feel like I fade away

Like drowning



I dont need you

But its so hard

To be without you

Though youre not far away

I censor my emotions

And tell myself to bide my time

But every time you come around

You batter my defenses down

But so gently

Like some sweet hypnosis

And the world just slips away

Im drowning



Its dark

My heart is pounding

Im sinking down

Into a pool of passion

Theres laughter as I drown

Like so many lost before me

Damned by lust and gone to hell

And then I look into your eyes

And something melts

I shake inside

And cool water

Washes me all over

Washes me away

And still Im drowning
