Lyric of the week (Week 43)

There are few vocalists with voices as distinct as Maysa Leak, most commonly referred to as Maysa. Even without much commercial success she's garnered the ability to be recognized as one of those first name only artists. This song was my introduction to that voice and is so poignant.


Artist: Incognito
Album: Positivity (1994)
Song: Deep Waters


Is it a crime, for me, to be feeling this way
I'm going out of my mind and there's
no change from a runaway love
Is it a dream (is it a dream)
That I'm throwing in the wishing well
I'm losing control my body and soul
(body and soul)Standing here waiting
for a train that may never come

I saw the signs I read the books
I should of had a second look
but you caught me dreaming
and there were times you'd come around a
we'd agreed to just be friends tell
me who it's fooling oooo

Deep water I'm drowning
Deep water I'm slowly drowning in deeper
Deep water I'm drowning
Deep water I'm slowly drowning in deeper

what do I say(what can I say)
where words have failed me before
what do i do when i'm feeling so blue
and there's no place for me to run and hide

I saw the sun inside your smile and wished
for then just awhile cause [girl] you caught
me dreaming a giant step into the dark
and we through caution to the wind tell
me who we're fooling oooo

Deep water I'm drowning
Deep water i'm slowly drowning in deeper
Deep water i'm drowning
Deep water i'm slowly drowning deeper


i'm drowning
deeper deeper i'm drowning in deeper
oh i saw the signs i read the book
i should have had a second look
cause [girl] you caught me dreaming
and there are times youd come around
and we'd agreed to just be friends tell me who it's fooling

Deep water i'm drowning
deep water i'm slowly drowning in deeper

deep water i'm drowning
deep water i'm slowly drowning in deeper
deeper deeper deeper
i'm drowning in deeper
(drowning in drowning in drowning in)
deeper deeper deeper
so deep is the water
(drowning in drowning in drowning in)
