Slow Drowning Letra

And you hold my body down

I guess it's timing but your heart was never sure, my love
About the bigger things that you and I were speaking of
You gave a little hope, my dear, and was it just enough
To lay my body down

Holy fire, I've been burning
In your water, I am sinking slow
And, darling
When the Earth, it started moving
I lost the air we were breathing
Oh, oh, oh
I'm slow drowning

Even now when I look back, I see your shadow
And it follows me around wherever I go
Like a precious little secret only you'd know
To lay my body down

Holy fire, I've been burning
In your water, I am sinking slow
And, darling
When the Earth, it started moving
I lost the air we were breathing
Oh, oh, oh
I'm slow drowning

And I'm moving backwards just looking at you
And the fire around your feet
I know there's a fortune coming for you
But, baby, it's not me
'Cause when you laid my body down
You wore my body down

Holy fire, I've been burning
In your water, I am sinking slow
And, darling
When the Earth, it started moving
I lost the air we were breathing
Oh, oh, oh
I'm slow
I'm slow drowning
