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
