I'm going down, won't you help me?   Save me from myself, I hear the sound of a memory   Maybe time will tell      Suddenly my life is like a river   Taking me places I don't want to go   But like all good men who swim too well   It takes all that I have just to cry for help   Then that voice in my head tells me, no      I'm going down, won't you help me?   Save me from myself, I look around for a fantasy   Maybe, who can tell?      Let me live my life beside the river   Take me to places where a child can grow   And then maybe, the boy inside will forsake me   Maybe, the child in me will just let me go      I'm going down, the cold, cold water is rushing in   I'm going down and I would beg to be forgiven   If I knew my sin
