Not Drowning but Waving - Spring Offensive
You saw the clothes
And instinctively called for me
You said it was far too cold to swim
And he was too far out the sea
But I had the hand of a clock beating me
There was no time to deflate
My evening with heroics like these
I'm not sure what came over me my friend
I must said
He's not drowning he's waving
But you would not relent
I know my hands are shaking
But it's not cowardice again
That stopped me from jumping in
We're stood with water only up to our chins
That is a storm blowing in
Do I have to shoulder this one
If you wade in
Then I'll wade in
Will I be blamed for this one
A freezing mist comes rolling in
I will be blamed for this one
I saw him first
Beaten and broken by waves
Straight away I need you to try
And convince that he could be saved
So much to prove
You loved first aid
It's not my fault that you listened to me
When I said that it was already too late
There is a storm blowing in
Do I have to shoulder this one
If you wade in
Then I'll wade in
Will I be blamed for this one
A freezing mist comes rolling in
Afraid you will turn on me
And I'll go down for this
We're both to blame
You know it well
We'll have to shoulder this one
And I won't tell
If you don't tell
We'll have to live with this one
A freezing mist comes rolling in
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
