Lyrics
SINKING FAST (Music and Lyrics by Gene Ober)
Sailin? against the wind
Tears crash over the side
The more my heart?s in distress
The fainter the S.O.S.
Who you with tonight
What should I believe?
If it seems I?m rockin? the boat
Just trying to stay afloat
CHORUS:
Sinking fast - ?cause you?ve been throwin? me lines
(tossin? and turnin?)
Sinking fast ? in a sea of lies
(stormy weather in your eyes)
Drifting away; swallowed by the tide
I?ve cried my last help, help, help
Sinking fast
I feel you holdin? him
I can hear the secrets you share
How can you lead me on
When you know the feeling is gone?
How far?s your rendezvous?
Does he make love to you?
If you hear me splashin? about
I need someone to help me out
CHORUS
Just when I think I get my head above water
You go fishin? for some company
Always seems to be one wave after another
Give me a break, girl; cut me some slack
Stop movin? the shore when I try to swim back
Can?t you see, girl that you?re drowning me
CHORUS
