Joe Cocker - Just To Keep From Drowning lyrics

I went down to the river Just to see if it would rain I looked down in the water I could not believe my eyes A face and a reflection Was staring back at me ahah And it scares me just to think About the power that this woman has on me Just to keep from drowning I get down on my knees to pray Just to keep from drowning I'll do anything you say Help me now Help me now It rained the day I met her I should have known that was a sign But I couldn't see the weather That woman almost made me blind I wanted her to love me Now all I want is to be free And it scares me just to think About the power that this woman has on me Just to keep from drowning I'll do anything I can Just to keep from drowning Lord I need a helping hand Help me now Help me now I hear the river call my name But the water's dark and cold I see your face And I'm afraid this time That I will lose my soul I will lose my soul I might lose my soul Help me Help me now Just to keep from drowning I get down on my knees to pray Just to keep from drowning I'll do anything you say Help me now Help me please What else's gonna save me from drowning here Just to deliver me Keep from drowning I get on my knees to pray Just to free my soul Just to keep from drowning You know I'd do anything you say woman Ooh Have me talking baby Drowning Drowning Can't we Living like it should With unbroken heart I'd do anything Just to keep from drowning Just to keep from burning down I get on my knees to pray I said it scares me Just to think about you woman How will she help for me I gotta keep from drowning
