Deep green shinin' with the saddest glow
Eyes fixed on me as she turns to go
Forever burned, forever carved into my soul
Try to hold on though it's no use I know

She's gonna leave
She's gonna take one last look at me
Then I'll be watchin' love go sailin'
Feelin' my tears come tumblin' down my face
'Cause I can't face the lettin' go

So my soul returns to searchin'
All the colors now are fadin'
Watchin' the world fallin' apart
It's breakin' my heart

There's a black tide turnin' again
And I am a drownin' man

She's seen me fall, she's seen the weakest part of me
So many lonely days, she was my only company
I've come to see the world through those deep green eyes
Lookin' at me now holdin' the secrets to my life

She's gonna leave me
She's gonna turn the tide on me
Then I'll be watchin' love go sailin'
Feelin' my tears come tumblin' down my face
I can't face the lettin' go

So my soul returns to searchin'
All the colors now are fadin'
Watchin' the world, fallin' apart
Breakin' my heart

There's a black tide turnin' again
I am a drownin' man, yeah, yeah

Black tide turnin', waves crushin' down
I'm slowly learnin', slowly comin' 'round
See I can't change it, what's gonna be is gonna be
Can't stop her leavin', can't fight the rigid sea
The black tides turnin' again, I'm a drownin' man
