Deep green shinin' with the saddest glow Eyes fixed on me as she turns to go Forever burned, forever carved into my soul Try to hold on though it's no use I knowShe's gonna leave She's gonna take one last look at me Then I'll be watchin' love go sailin' Feelin' my tears come tumblin' down my face' Cause I can't face the lettin' go So my soul returns to searchin' All the colors now are fadin' Watchin' the world fallin' apart It's breakin' my heart There's a black tide turnin' again And I am a drownin' man She's seen me fall, she's seen the weakest part of me So many lonely days, she was my only company I've come to see the world through those deep green eyes Lookin' at me now holdin' the secrets to my life She's gonna leave me She's gonna turn the tide on me Then I'll be watchin' love go sailin' Feelin' my tears come tumblin' down my face I can't face the lettin' go So my soul returns to searchin' All the colors now are fadin' Watchin' the world, fallin' apart Breakin' my heart There's a black tide turnin' again I am a drownin' man, yeah, yeah Black tide turnin', waves crushin' down I'm slowly learnin', slowly comin' 'round See I can't change it, what's gonna be is gonna be Can't stop her leavin', can't fight the rigid sea The black tides turnin' again, I'm a drownin' man
