Pouring Water On A Drowning Man

(album: Rough Rider - 1982)

We had our troubles I know it's been rough
That part-time love affair we had could never be enough
There's someone else I've known it at least a year
And now you tell me what I've been dreading so to hear

So let me hold you one more time before it's over
It's alright I can take it if you can
Just let your teardrops fall softly on my shoulder
Like pouring water on a drowning man
Like pouring water on a drowning man

When's the wedding
Tell me who's the lucky man
That diamond ring he gave you
It sure looks pretty on your hand
He's offered you what we've always hoped we'd find
But just remember my number if you ever change your mind

So let me hold you one more time before it's over
It's alright I can take it if you can
Just let your teardrops fall softly on my shoulder
Like pouring water on a drowning man
Like pouring water on a drowning man
