I stepped out my door
To clear out my mind
I walked to the shore
And the waters looked fine
I shook off my clothes
Waded into the blue
And the next thing I know
I'm drowning in you
I'm drowning in you
And there's no one around
I'm over my head
And I'm going down
In an ocean so deep
What am I gonna do?
Such a beautiful sleep
I'm drowning in you.
Rock me beneath
Under your waves
I can't get free
I don't wanna be saved
Swallow my soul
But whatever you do
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm drowning in you.
I'm drowning in you
And there's no one around
I am over my head
And I'm going down
In an ocean so deep
What am I gonna do?
Such a beautiful sleep
I'm drowning in you.
I made up my mind this could not be
I look in your eyes and I realize I'm lost at sea
I'm drowning in you
And there's no one around
I am over my head
And I'm going down
In an ocean so deep
What am I gonna do?
Such a beautiful sleep
I'm drowning in you.
I'm drowning in you.

I hope your plight has improved. I just wanted to thank you for posting the lyrics to "Drowning" by Pat Donohue. I first heard the song performed on "A Prairie Home Companion" a few years ago. I immediately fell in love with it and pulled over to the side of the road to jot down a few of the lyrics. Thinking I could just Google it when I made it home I didn't think to write down the artist.
After an exhuastive search, I never did find out the writer nor the name of the song. Bummed, I tossed the lyrics into a drawer and only occassionally thought about the song after that. Today while cleaning around the house, I found the lyrics again and thought I'd try the search again. Your blog is the only place I could find any information about the song and artist. I hit ITunes, and now I'll have the song forever.
Amazing what a blog can do.
Thank you.
