| I’m the cold, cold water in the long, deep river
|
| What is luring you is what will cause the deadly shiver
|
| And all that’s sacred is all that withers
|
| And you were never keen, resisting all that’s been
|
| Forever I remain in waters never seen
|
| I’m your personal mirror, cut to fit you forever
|
| Evolving so that you can have your mortal steerer
|
| Cause all that’s sacred is all that’s with us
|
| And you were never keen, resisting all that’s been
|
| Forever I remain in waters never seen
|
| When I saw the river the sun was up and blinding and
|
| On the surface gleaming with no sight down
|
| Should I stay till dusk? |
| But I’d trifle away the joyous day!
|
| So I kept on wandering, so alone
|
| I see it can’t be wrong, when we are always drawn
|
| To cast our flaw along and stay until we’re done
|
| I’m the cold, cold water in the long deep river
|
| What is luring you is what will cause the deadly shiver
|
| And all that’s sacred is all that withers |
