I was lucky for a long, long time

..I never felt much pain

A mess of clouds came over me The

..night it finally rained.

In my hand there's a silver heart

..It says you belong to me

But it's empty and used up I'm

..sailing off to sea

Going down, going down Swallow an

..ocean

Going down, going down With true

..devotion

When the rain started coming down

..It was so hard to see

Swear I lost you in the crowd When

..you were right there with me

People scattering everywhere

..Trying to make it back home

And I slipped and fell on my ass

..I'm going down alone

Going down, going down Swallow an

..ocean

Going down, going down With true

..devotion

All I see is icy blue And I don't

..feel the waves

It doesn't matter anyhow I know I

..won't be saved

Before you go to sleep tonight Say

..a prayer for me, yeah

And all the other wasted souls

..Drowning definitely

Going down, going down Swallow an

..ocean

Going down, going down With true

..devotion
