Going Down for the Third Time - Phoebe Snow

I’m goin' down, down for the third time

I’m goin' down, down for the third time

Drownin' in tears from my heart that’s hurtin'

Drownin' in tears from a love that’s uncertain

I’m lost without your love in a sea of emptiness

The love we knew is bein' washed away

Don’t think I can last, my heart is sinkin' fast

I’m goin' down, down for the third time

Tryin' to hold on to a love that’s dyin'

Drownin' in the love that keeps me grievin'

Drownin' in the fear that my arms you’re leavin'

Bring back that love we knew

Darlin' let me live again

A little tenderness to me start showin'

And my heart will fill up till it’s overflowin'

I’m like a ship all alone on a ragin' sea

You got me tossin' and a-turnin' and I can’t get free

Reach out your hand for me

And save what’s left of our love

I’ll forgive your lies and alibis

If you’ll wipe my cryin' eyes

I’m goin' down for the third time

So won’t you save this heart of mine

I loved you long, I loved you strong

Now little boy you know you’re doin' me wrong

Come on and save me

Come on and save me

(I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down)

Save me, save me

(Don't let it drown, drown, drown, drown, drown)

Drownin', drownin'…

(I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down)

(Don't let it drown, drown, drown, drown, drown)
