Mmm Your river is deep And you're walking in It's too deep to wade And too wide to swim From here on the bridge I call out to you I can see the danger Why can't you I know the water must be cold And the current strong I'm throwing you a line And I need you to hold on But you just keep walking Like you've got a plan Well It looks like to me You, you are a drowning man *INSTRUMENTAL* Now the water is rising You are slipping right out of my hands Ohh I guess there'll be no saving This drowning man You let that river take you And I didn't know why Till you lifted up your hands And you waved goodbye Tomorrow morning I know the sun's gonna rise again But there ain't gonna be no rising For the drowning man I know I know tomorrow morning The sun is gonna rise again Ain't gonna be no rising, no For the drowning man Goodbye baby You gotta lay it down You gotta lay it down
