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
You have suppressed the things that make you feel uptight
If I had known you 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'd hoped for
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
His arms so hard, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
We climbed into the stream so no one will be heard
And in no time at all there wasn't a sound
If I'd known you couldn't swim we would have never 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'd hoped for
And now you're left sifting through the leaves
No colour to his skin, inform the next of kin
No colour 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 blowing through the trees
