Drowning Pool Songtext
von David Knopfler

You were my first
You were my last
You were my best
You were the worst
My loving kiss
My special bliss
Ah, only you defeat me
Only you complete me
Down we′ll go
To the drowning pool below
You were all hope
Lost at my gate
You were my best
My best mistake
Unanswered prayers
Broken faith
Ah, only you defeat me
Only you complete me
Down we'll go
To the drowning pool below


Burning down the still house
In the heat of fractured dreams
You reached for love in old thongs
But don′t know what it means
God it was who lit the spark
But God knows you are in the dark
You had grail more precious than all gold
Now we're not even smiling
On church row
On church row
In the drowning swell
Of lost amour
Through the mouth of Eros
You say you can't feel anymore
But in fires of hell
Is your flood type blessed?
Yeah and once again you′re in a mess
Sending me that S.O.S
To meet you in your drowning pool below
No matter what the trouble is
No matter what you′ve done
My loving arms are open wide
I will be right by your side
Only I complete you
Though you'd be the last to know
So eager in your urgency and flow
Please believe me girl
And know it all is so
My love will lead you
From the drowning pool below
The drowning pool below
