Swimming into deep water

Don Rosenbaum (1972)



Why do I do all the thinking?

Why do you do all the work?

Is it 'cause I think I'm dyin'

When I'm workin' as a clerk?



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me one more time?

I'm tryin' all my best to keep live goin'



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me one more time?

I'm drowning but I'd like to stay around

'round for awhile



Thoug I'm always busy hidin'

Though I'm always on the run

It's not you that I am fightin'

It's the clouds while you're the sun



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me one more time?

I'm tryin' all my best to keep live goin'



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me one more time?

I'm drowning but I'd like to stay around

'round for awhile



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me one more time?

I'm tryin' all my best to keep live goin'



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me one more time?

I'm drowning but I'd like to stay around

'round for awhile



When I was a little schoolboy

A life I'm living far away

They said: "life It's just a fake boy"

But I want it anyway, ah



Now the days are getting longer

And my life is going on

Hear my heartbeat getting stronger

No, with you it can't go wrong



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me one more time?

I'm tryin' all my best to keep live goin'



I'm swimming into deep water

Would you help me for awhile

I'm drowning but I'd like to stay around

'round for awhile



For awhile

For awhile
