Slow Drowning

There was nothing I could do to ever fool ya I've been 'round and 'round this place just trying to find ya I've been tryna spell it out but nothing's clearer And you hold my body down I guess it's timing but your heart was never sure, my love About the bigger things that you and I were speaking of You gave a little hope, my dear, and was it just enough To lay my body down Holy fire, I've been burning In your water, I am sinking Slow And, darling When the Earth, it started moving I lost the air we were breathing Oh, oh, oh I'm slow drowning Even now when I look back, I see your shadow And it follows me around wherever I go Like a precious little secret only you'd know To lay my body down Holy fire, I've been burning In your water, I am sinking Slow And, darling When the Earth, it started moving I lost the air we were breathing Oh, oh, oh I'm slow drowning And I'm moving backwards just looking at you And the fire around your feet I know there's a fortune coming for you But, baby, it's not me 'Cause when you laid my body down You wore my body down Holy fire, I've been burning In your water, I am sinking Slow And, darling When the Earth, it started moving I lost the air we were breathing Oh, oh, oh I'm slow I'm slow drowning
