Lyrics
Troubled Waters
Smooth sailing, ocean waters blue serene
Cradled like an unborn child
Floating on the love you give to me
Every time we touch the magic
Of the waters flow so free
I thought we could sail the ocean for all eternity
CHORUS
But I see trouble up ahead
The waves are crashing all around my head
I am drowning helplessly
Only your sweet love can rescue me
Troubled waters, troubled waters, troubled waters, troubled waters
Peaceful waters, echoes of the love you give to me
High above the moon and stars
Crystallize the magic of the sea
When we kiss our passions rise
Floating further out to sea
I thought we could sail the ocean for all eternity
CHORUS
The wind is high the water rough the ocean covers me I?m reaching out and you?re not there, no, no, no
Though fate has turned a hand my love and you are lost at sea
The magic of the tide will bring you back to me
CHORUS
Come to me baby
I need you by my side
I know we?ll be together
I know everything will be alright
Come for me baby
Somebody rescue me
I know you?ll be back baby
By my side eventually
Come to me baby, Come to me baby???
Troubled waters, troubled waters
