Virgil come to me
You'll see I'm not so unkind
Free me from this lake and take me home
The steam's burning my face
Yet my feet are stuck in ice
How long before I can see the Texas sky
And will my guilt be washed away
Will my neck be free to move
Will these crystal tears finally melt away
Ahh will you pull me out of here
Drag me where the sun meets her eyes
Rescue me I'm drowning in sin
In these troubled waters
How I fear this beast
With his many heads and his grin
Am I the one sinking or is he climbing my way
Could just be a reflection in the ice
Or a painting you'd hang in the sky
Just like the one where her hand fits right in mine
And will my guilt be washed away
Will my neck be free to move
Will these crystal tears finally melt away
Ahh will you pull me out of here
Drag me where the sun meets her eyes
Rescue me I'm drowning in sin
In these troubled waters
These banners are beginning to rise
The powdery fog of dryness fills the sky
Virgil don't go my mouth is locked I can't talk
And who's that guy you're walking with
He seems quite good with the spoken word
Could he write her a letter telling her I'm stuck
In these troubled waters
Troubled Waters
Troubled Waters
And will my guilt be washed away
Will my neck be free to move
Will these crystal tears finally melt away
Ahh will you pull me out of here
Drag me where the sun meets her eyes
Rescue me I'm drowning in sin
In these troubled waters
