Cold Water

feet are tired like heavy stones
for a heart that grows so slow
do the things that make me strong
in cold water i will plunge

and oh it moves so slow, oh it moves so slow

precious time out on my own
(beware of the one that strays too long)
shake this restless from my bones
(got too used to being alone)
how long is too long?
(mind your step and where you go)
but it’s clearer on my own
(there are currents don’t you know)

cos i hate to be, wrapped in cotton oh i think it’s bad for me
(you should see the trouble you have caused for me)
yes i see there’s trouble but it’s proven to me
i’m better off that way

black river licked my ears again
muffled sounds is where i’ll find my friends
black river take me there today
been a while since i let you carry me in this way

and oh it moves so slow, and oh it moves so slow
