You saved me from drowning, my darling
You saved me from falling apart
You saved me from drowning, my darling
You saved me tonight
When the trees were shaking
Close to breaking
When the storm hit harder
Than the hands of my father
When the river rose high
With doubt and dismay
Flooding my world
With sorrow and dirt
That's when you saved me from drowning ...
When the battle seemed lost
All blood and dust
When the end was certain
Eyes blind from hurtin'
When the night fell down
On a shapeless ground
When all sense of direction
Collapsed in a fraction
That's when you saved me from drowning ...
Your tender embrace
Is like a mountain of light
Keeping the darkness at bay
In the dark sea of night
All the colours of life
Rush back into my face
And that's all because of you
And your tender embrace
Oh you saved me from drowning ...
