Cold Dark Waters Songtext
von Porter Wagoner

In tomorrow′s newspaper you'll read about me
But they won′t tell the story I know
For they'll only say "He plunged yesterday
To the cold dark waters below"

I guess it all started the day we first met
You promised that you'd love me so
And I never thought it would end in regret
In the cold dark waters below


In a moment I′ll ride on the drift of the tide
And I hope your conscience hurts so
All the tears that I cried will be easy to hide
In the cold dark waters below

Now I hear them running to try and stop me
They′re shouting "Oh, don't let him go"
But it′s far too late and I'll soon meet my fate
In the cold dark waters below
In the cold dark waters below
