The Water Is Fine (Crimson Edition)

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 waits, 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 (oh, daughter)

I am the river's daughter (daughter)

I am the river's daughter (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
