Deep green shannon

With the saddest glow

Eyes fixed on me, as she turns to go

Forever burned forever carved into my soul

Try to hold on, no it's no use, I know

She's gonna leave, she's gonna take one last look at me

Then I'll be watching love go sailing

Feeling my tears come tumbling down my face

Cause I can't face the letting go

So my soul returns to searching, all the colors now are faded

Watching the world falling apart

It's breaking my heart

There's a black tide turning again

And I'm a drowning 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

Looking at me now, holding the secrets to my life

She's gonna leave me, she's gonna turn the tide on me

Then I'll be watching love go sailing

Feeling my tears come tumbling down my face

I can't face the letting go

So my soul returns to searching, all the colors now are faded

Watching the world falling apart

Breaking my heart

There's a black tide turning again

I'm a drowning man

Black tide turning

Waves crashing down

I'm slowly learning, slowly coming round

See I can't change it, what's gonna be, is gonna be

Can't stop her leaving

Can't fight the raging sea

The black tides turning again

I'm a drowning man
