Just To Keep From Drowning Lyrics - One Night Of Sin - Joe Cocker

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
