"Going Down Slow" lyrics - CRYSTAL GAYLE

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
