Deep, Deep Water - Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown

I'm drifting in deep waters Alone with my self doubting again I try to not to struggle this time For I will weather the storm I gotta remember (don't) Don't fight it (don't fight it) Even if I (even if I) Don't like it (don't like it) Somehow, turn me around (somehow, turn me around) No matter how far I drift Deep waters (deep waters) Won't scare me tonight

You find yourself falling down Your hopes in the sky But your heart like grape gum on the ground And you try to find yourself In the abstractions of religion And the cruelty of everyone else And you wake up to realize Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive When you're standing in deep water And you're bailing yourself out with a straw And when you're drowning in deep water And you wake up making love to a wall Well, it's these little times that help to remind It's nothing without love You realize your only friends Has never been yourself Or anyone who cared in the end That's when everything fades or falls away 'Cause the chains which once held us Are only the chains which we've made When you're standing in deep water And you're bailing yourself out with a straw And when you're drowning in deep water And you wake up making love to a wall Well, it's these little times that help to remind It's nothing without love, love, love It's nothing without love We've compromised our pride And sacrificed our health We must demand more not from each other But more from ourselves 'Cause when you're standing in deep water And you're bailing yourself out with a straw And when you're drowning in deep water And you wake up making love to a wall Well, it's these little times that help to remind It's nothing without love, love, love It's nothing without love It's nothing without love Nothing without love, without love Nothing without love, without love Nothing without love, without love Nothing without love, without love Nothing without love, without love Nothing without love, without love

I am a child, hungry and wild Trying to find my way home You are a traveller, walking in the shadows Finding your way on your own But here in the night We found the light When you, baby, put your hand in mine So take me, save me This lost rolling stone Don't wanna swim these deep waters alone Too many wander, wounded, not wanted That's where I was before you And I was there reaching, for what you were seeking And now we've got too much to lose So don't let me go Let's walk the unknown Won't you baby, keep your hand in mine Take me, save me This lost rolling stone Don't wanna swim these deep waters alone Deep water, deep water Don't let it pull us apart Deep water, deep water Baby, I'm safe in your arms So take me, save me This lost rolling stone Don't wanna swim these deep waters Take me, save me This lost rolling stone Don't wanna swim these deep waters (swim these deep waters) Don't wanna swim these deep waters All alone

I stay up late and rise up early too with the morning dew The sun is shining so I'm on my way trying to find something new Even when I'm lost I'm knowing right where I'm going Well life's an ocean, ocean of emotions And I'm just floating 'Cause I'm in that deep water And I, I gotta get away 'Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water Searching now for my getaway Yes, I'm in that deep water And I, I gotta get away 'Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water Searching now for my getaway Ocean of emotions better learn to sway Got so many of 'em I'm gonna fall victim Good riddance 'Cause you know it's all fun and games and games and fun Until the other fallin' for The worlds going down so I learn to fly They don't appreciate their life 'til it's time to die Really, really wanna know why we even try For the pain, for the love, or just for the high 'Cause I'm in that deep water And I, I gotta get away 'Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water Searching now for my getaway Yes, I'm in that deep water And I, I gotta get away 'Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water Searching now for my getaway 'Cause I'm in that deep water And I, I gotta get away 'Cause you know I'm in that deep water Searching now for my getaway 'Cause you know I'm in that deep water And I gotta get away 'Cause you know I'm in that deep, deep water Searching now for my getaway To my higher place

It's a long way home Baby I've got to go It's a long way home Baby I've got to go Yes I'm gonna leave here running 'Cause walking is much too slow I used to love you baby But you made a believer out of me I used to love you woman But you made a believer out of me My heart you have wrecked darlin' And my life you cannot see Alright (Music) I said it's a long way home Baby I've got to go It's a long way home Baby I've got to go I got to leave here running Ooo, 'Cause walking is much to slow (Music)
