I'm going down Won't you help me Save me from myself I hear the sound of a memory Maybe time will tell 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 I'm going down Won't you help me Save me from myself I look around for a fantasy Maybe Who can tell? Let me live my life beside the river Take me to places where a child can grow And then Maybe the boy inside will forsake me Maybe The child in me Will just let me go 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 If I knew my sin
