lyrics

Go as if on water

Go as if on water, my dear
Go as if on glass, but be fast
Go as if on gravel, and unravel your love for me

I’ve found my self in trouble, when I’ve hung my heart in a frame
So now I keep it in my shoe, wrapped in a picture of you

Go as if on water, my dear
Go as if on grass, make it last
Go as if on pins, let the blood rinse itself of me

But now the blood runs from my shoe, the picture of you is soaked through
So I hang it up to dry, but the ink just bleeds and you cry

Go as if on water, my dear
Go as if on ice, like two dice
Go as if on fire, and retire from this life with me
