(You Got Me Drowning) For Your Love
Sarah Rayan 1982 (Kuwait City)
I know a fire can't start in the sea
but you got me drowning so effortlessly
You got me drowning for your love
My heart is pounding for your love
Sea levels are rising mysteriously
as I wait for my last tears to set me free
You got me drowning for your love
My heart is pounding for your love
The waves keep getting higher
How did you start this fire
You got me drowning for your love
My heart is pounding for your love
