I got up
And I saw a woman go down
She fell over on the other side of my street
Her yellow heels might have part in causing it
I helped her up
And that's how we got to mee
Dressed up in black at first sight black all over
Another sailor drowning in her gaze
Rise to red
As red as my pullower
Just by looking at her my head filled up with cheers

Are we drowning
We're all drowning
Drowning sailors far from the see
Who will take us back to were we all belong
Who will lead us back to were we wanna be

A quarter later
And we where having coffee
In a cosy, smokey bar nearby
She confessed
Well I was getting nevery
How did she ever manage to survive
Got her number and a thank you and a goodbye
And I can still hear the thick of her shoes
The sotry of a live in half an hour
Fills my head up with the skippers blues

Are we drowning
We're all drowning
Drowning sailors far from the see
Who will take us back to were we all belong
Who will lead us back to were we wanna be

Are we drowning
We're all drowning
Drowning sailors far from the see
Who will take us back to were we all belong
Who will lead us back to were we wanna be
