Crystal Gayle - Going Down Slow lyrics

Whatever we had going ain't showing anymore
Where there used to be laughter
Now there's only pain
I feel like you're an island
And I'm drifting from your shore
Out in the troubled waters up over my head

And I'm going down slow
Going down for the last time
Your heavy goodbye is sinking my soul
And I'm going down slow

Now you've got me wondering why
Love don't seem to last
It's gonna take me a
While to really understand
But what used to be our future
Has turned into my past
You're precious love line slowly slipping
Out of my hands

And I'm going down slow
Going down for the last time
Your heavy goodbye is sinking my soul
And I'm going down slow

There was nothing in your green eyes
To get me ready for the blue
I guess I had my head stuck in the sand
All your love and sweet lies
Well I took them as the truth
And now I know how it feels
To be a drowning man

And I'm going down slow
Going down for the last time
Your heavy goodbye is sinking my soul
And I'm going down slow
