Leave me to the river Lay me down, let the water wash over If this is nowhere, then let us be nowhere If I'm underwater Then let this be love Lick the salt from my fingers Covet me like a neighbor Here, you're my witness, still we are strangers Are we just strangers? I call it love Thin my blood in the water Take my bones, find the finger Then, near the end, you'll finally name it Then you will feel it There you'll find love Love Follow me to the river Let me drown, let the water take over Watch how the weight of your garment, it holds me How it surrounds me For you this is love
