I drown, slowly sinking, I drown!
No, never even realising
I entered dangerous waters;
Deep, deep, dark waters,
Troubled waters like tears
Of the Goddess of old;
Deep, deep, deep in trouble
As I find a self again caught
Perplexed and petrified
By a pair of eyes,
By a pair of lies
I tell myself
To avoid and to escape
What once was felt:
Memories of yesteryears
And Pompeiiโs final squirt
As we laid there waiting
For the endless night;
I saw your eyes then
As I see them now,
Clearly and inevitably
By any standard irresistible:
I drown, then and there
Unable to tell
Unable to convey
I fell and drowned
For you
In you
