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
