Going Down Slow by Crystal Gayle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
