Ephraim Lewis - Drowning in your eyes
Feel the ground, it's slipping away,
like a sigh that greats the close of day.
Feel the waters' welcoming arms,
embrace me in the quiet calm.
I can't hear what you say anymore,
just the sound of trees on the ocean floor,
irresitably drawn from the shore.
I'm drowning in your eyes,
I'm floating out to sea.
Helpless on the restless tide
that flows between you and me.
Moving slowly as if in a dream,
the colours change from blue to green.
All around me reflections of you,
in forests deep I'm passing through.
In the swell of the storm we're as one,
we're dancing in the morning sun.
Could it be that we've only just begun?
I'm drowning in your eyes,
I'm floating out to sea.
Helpless on the restless tide
that flows between you and me.
Lying here beside you,
try to reach you but you're so far....
I'm drowning in your eyes,
I'm floating out to sea.
Helpless on the restless tide
that flows between you and me.
I'm drowning in your eyes...
I'm drowning in your eyes...
I'm drowning in your eyes...
like a sigh that greats the close of day.
Feel the waters' welcoming arms,
embrace me in the quiet calm.
I can't hear what you say anymore,
just the sound of trees on the ocean floor,
irresitably drawn from the shore.
I'm drowning in your eyes,
I'm floating out to sea.
Helpless on the restless tide
that flows between you and me.
Moving slowly as if in a dream,
the colours change from blue to green.
All around me reflections of you,
in forests deep I'm passing through.
In the swell of the storm we're as one,
we're dancing in the morning sun.
Could it be that we've only just begun?
I'm drowning in your eyes,
I'm floating out to sea.
Helpless on the restless tide
that flows between you and me.
Lying here beside you,
try to reach you but you're so far....
I'm drowning in your eyes,
I'm floating out to sea.
Helpless on the restless tide
that flows between you and me.
I'm drowning in your eyes...
I'm drowning in your eyes...
I'm drowning in your eyes...
