Floating

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, these late-night conversations Leave a strange taste Like french cigarettes And these coloured drinks That you keep on throwin' at me Just keep on reminding me I came to forget [Verse 2] So now every night You insist on reminding me Of my lost possibilities And the stains on the wall Well, I don't mean to complain But it hurts just the same And now both of us know The leaves will fall on their own [Chorus] Just throw me a line That's all that I ask Well, it's sink or swim and I'm goin' fast I need love and it's you And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool [Verse 3] Yeah, you tell me Life is for living It's best in the giving But it's so hard to be free Still I do my best But you refuse my gift And now all that we share Is a collection of tears [Chorus] Just throw me a line That's all that I ask Well, it's sink or swim and I'm going fast I need love and it's you And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool
