Cold Dark Waters

(Don Owens)



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.



--- Instrumental ---



In a moment I'll ride on the drift of the tide

And I hope your conscience hurts so

All the tears that I've 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...
