Clifford T. Ward - Not Waving-Drowning Lyrics

You get the wrong impression of me

You think I would not miss you if you did not come

It's obvious you don't see clearly

'Cause if you did you'd see how all at sea I am.



Now if you took a careful look

You might just see the horizon and me

And if you took another look

You might discern - my concern.



I'm not waving I'm drowning

Oh won't you save me?

You are the only one who can

I'm not waving I'm drowning

Why don't you save me?

You are the only one who can.



Though our relationship is sinking

It could be salvaged if we do not lose our head

It would be wrong of you in thinking

It's past recovery, that would be short sighted.



Now if you took a careful look

You might just see the horizon and me

And if you took another look

You might discern - my concern.



I'm not waving I'm drowning

Oh won't you save me?

You are the only - one who can

I'm not waving I'm drowning

Why don't you save me?

You are the only one who can.



I'm not waving I'm drowning

Oh won't you save me?

You are the only - one who can

I'm not waving I'm drowning

Why don't you save me?

You are the only one who can.



(Not waving, drowning)

(Not waving, drowning)

(Not waving, drowning)

(Repeat and fade).
