Boz Scaggs – Drowning In The Sea Of Love

Drowning In The Sea Of Love is een lekker soul-nummer dat geschreven werd door Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, die verantwoordelijk waren voor de Philadelphia Soul, ook wel The Philly Sound genoemd. Het werd voor het eerst op de plaat gezet door soul-zanger Joe Simon (1936-2021) in 1971.

Hier wordt het uitstekend vertolkt door de Amerikaanse singer/songwriter Boz Scaggs, tijdens een concert van de supergroep The New York Rock & Soul Revue in 1991 onder leiding van Donald Fagen en met verder onder andere Michael McDonald & Phoebe Snow (1950-2011).

Drowning In The Sea Of Love
I’ve been out here so very long.
Can’t find no direction.
Babe when you came my way,
thought I’d found protection.

But a cold wind came into my life.
Took me by surprise.
I can’t seem to control these tears,
falling from my eyes.

Going down one time.
I have been down two times.
Now I’m drowning,
drowning, in the sea of love.

Darling I depended on you,
for our love navigation.
Now you’ve gone and deserted me.
Can’t you feel my desperation?

I’m in the middle of a love storm.
Miles from the shore.
I look around and all I can see,
is water coming over me.

One time.
I have been down two times.
Now I’m drowning,
drowning, in the sea of love.

I’m in the middle of a love storm,
miles from the shore.
I look around and all I can see,
is water coming over me.

One time.
I’ve been down two times.
Now I’m drowning,
drowning, in the sea of love.
