lyrics

Carry me down
Down to the river
Can you help me sew
These rocks in my skin?

Carry me down
We'll float together
But you'll emerge from the surface
While I slowly start to drown

Oh let me be
Til crows come kiss me
Til water sighs so soft on my skin

Just let me be
Til cold comes calling
And when i'm frozen in the water
I can finally learn to breathe

And I won't bother to say goodbye
So don't you worry when I'm gone
Just go, go down, down to the river
And sing, sing to me under the waves

Just let me dream
Down by the river
Can you see the night closing in?

Just let me dream
Of stiller waters
And though i'm sleeping on the bottom,
I will never wake again

And I won't bother to say goodbye
So don't you worry when I'm gone
Just go, go down, down to the river
And sing, sing to me under the waves

Carry me down
Down to the river
Can you help me sew
These rocks in my skin?

Carry me down
We'll float together
But you'll emerge from the surface
While I slowly start to drown
