The Water Is Fine

Two lovers wander down to the shore Hand in hand the evening before The day that their hands will be joined She enters and swims with the foam He bids her come out and come home But deeper and colder she goes The silt of our wedding bed The pebbles where you lay your head Love, come in, the water is fine When she is pulled beneath the rush He waits and waves, his face aflush 'Til the pale imitation drifts up The silt of our wedding bed The pebbles where you lay your head Love, come in The minnows our witnesses The cause of our sickness is Love, come in, the water is fine Blood runs thicker than water Blood runs thicker than water Blood runs thicker than water But both feel the same when your eyes are closed I am the river's daughter I am the river's daughter I am the river's daughter And you'll be her son when we're both reposed Blood runs thicker than water Blood runs thicker than water Blood runs thicker than water But both feel the same when your eyes are closed I am the river's daughter I am the river's daughter I am the river's daughter And you'll be her son when we're both reposed Blood runs thicker than water (the silt of our wedding bed) Blood runs thicker than water Blood runs thicker than water (the pebbles where you lay your head) But both feel the same when your eyes are closed I am the river's daughter (love, come in) I am the river's daughter I am the river's daughter (love, come in) And you'll be her son when the water is fine The minnows our witnesses (oh) The cause of our sickness is Love, come in Love, come in Love, come in, the water is fine
