We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight You took something before you went in the shower To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight
If I´d known he couldn´t swim We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I am left sifting through the reeds
The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn´t be found We climbed into the stream, sure no one would be heard And in no time at all, there wasn´t a sound
If I´d known he couldn´t swim
We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I am left sifting through the reeds
No color to his skin Inform the next of kin No color to his skin
I left my love in the river The only one I see I left his hand in the current And now I am left looking through the trees
