Drowning Man Lyrics

You don't ask a drowning man if he wants to be saved when you know he's sinking down... down beneath the crashing waves.
Betrayal wears two faces, both easy to explain,
One is what you'll say and do to bring another human pain,
When you refuse to act, though you know the good to do,
When you refuse to speak what's right, you've worn the face of number two.
You don't ask a drowning man if he wants to be saved when you know he's sinking down... down beneath the crashing waves.
Betrayal wears two faces, both easy to explain,
One is what you'll say and do to bring another human pain,
When you refuse to act, though you know the good to do,
When you refuse to speak what's right, you've worn the face of number two.

You don't ask a drowning man if he wants to be saved when you know he's a-sinking down... down beneath the crashing waves,
You don't ask a drowning man if he wants to be saved when you know he's sinking down... down beneath the crashing waves.
