[Verse 1]

I'm going down

Won't you help me? (Won't you help me now?)

Save me (Save me) from myself

I hear the sound of a memory

Maybe (Maybe) time will tell

[Chorus]

Suddenly my life is like a river

Taking me places I don't want to go

But like all good men who swim too well

It takes all that I have just to cry for help

Then that voice in my head tells me no

[Verse 2]

I'm going down

Won't you help me? (Won't you help me now?)

Save me (Save me) from myself

I look around for a fantasy

Maybe, who can tell?

[Chorus]

Let me live my life beside the river (The river)

Take me to places where a child can grow

And then maybe, maybe

The boy inside will forsake me

Maybe the child in me

Will just let me go

[Verse 3]

I'm going down

The cold, cold water is rushing in

I'm going down

And I would beg to be forgiven

If I knew my sin

[Outro]

If I knew my sin

Save me, save me

Save me, save me

Save me, save me

Save me, save me, I'm going down, I'm going down

I'm going down, I'm going down

(I'm going down)
