Not Waving But Drowning Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

Nobody heard him, the dead man 

But still he lay moaning 

I was much further out than you thought 

And not waving but drowning 

Old man, he always loved looking 

And now he's dead 

It must have been too cold for him 

His heart gave way, they said 

Oh no, no it was too cold always 

And still the dead one lay moaning 

And I was much too far out all my life 

And not waving but drowning
