Swells are churning overboard at midnight
(Lover, help is on the way)
I watch you sink into Atlantic waters
(All alone, on your own, throw me a ?)
My love in the arms of a sailor
Sturdy, substantial, and true

I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me

Show me a map
Where is the compass I packed?
batten the hatch before darling gets deeper
Give me a sign before I run out of time
hoping to god that the darkness won't keep her

Sunsets and skylines
You're something that I'll never forget
No, I'll never forget you

I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone
So please believe in me

Holding on with open arms
I'll carry you away, girl
I love you

I swear I'll save you
I die without you
My darling Darlene
I won't let the sea take you from me
I'll dive in for you
So don't dare think you are drowning alone
I won't say goodbye till you're gone

And I know you're out there
And I won't be long
I said I'd save you
And I will
