Save Me - Joan Armatrading

Sinking 
Caught up in a whirling motion 
Such a strange sensation 
The currents uncertain 
Like sails of a mill 
I spin 
Like wheels I move in a circle 
While you stand on the bank 
Immune or evasive 
Throw me a lifeline 
Save me... 

Intimacy and affection 
Frozen 
In this game of chance 
I forfeit 
Full hand of love 
With no counters 
Like a moth 
With no flame 
To persuade me 
Like blood in the rain 
Running thin 
While you stand on the inside 
Looking in 
Save me... 

Inside looking in 
Complete in yourself 
Throw me a lifeline 
Save me... 

Stand on the bank 
Immune or evasive 
Throw me a lifeline 
Save me...
