Drowning In the Sea of Love

I've been out here so very long

Lost all of my direction

Baby, when you came my way

Thought I'd found protection

But a strong wind came into my life

Took me, took me by surprise

I can't seem to control these tears

Falling from my eyes

Going down one time

Going down two times

Now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

Baby, I depended on you

For our love navigation

Now you've gone and deserted me

Can't you feel my desperation?

I'm in the middle of a love storm

Miles from the shore

I look around and all I can see

Is water coming over me

One time

Going down two times

Now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

Listen to me now

I'm in the middle of a love storm

Miles from the shore

I look around and all I can see

Is water coming over me

Been one time

I've been down two times

Right now I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

Going down one time

I've been down two times

Right now I'm worrying

Hey, hey, the sea of love

Listen to the man

There it goes one time

Going down two times y'all

(Drowning)

Can't you see the man drowning?

(Drowning)

Can you see his desperation?

(Drowning)

Drowning

(Drowning)

Drowning

(Drowning)

Hey, hey

Can't you see the drowning man?

Drowning right there on dry land

Getting kind of worried

Down in the sea of love

Hey, down one time

Been down two times

Yes, I'm drowning

Drowning in the sea of love

Ladies and gentlemen

Please welcome

Mister Charles Brown

We're gonna take it back to

1945

When a lot of you weren't even here then

We moved Louis Jordan out of first place

With this number one album

I wrote when I was twelve years old

It was was called Driftin' Blues

And it won the cashbox award of 1946

We hope you like it
