WHERE THE WATERS MEET

WHERE THE WATERS MEET

Took my love where the waters meet
Perfumed flowers lay in the grass so sweet
Kissed beneath the shadows of the sycamore trees
Hours passed like moments in a waking dream

Made our vows where the waters meet
Swore to be faithful in the summer’s heat
Bodies twined together under sycamore trees
Felt the fever rising til we washed desire clean

CHORUS
There in the water (I want you to sleep)
Sleep in the water (and never find peace)
Dream in the water (no tears will I weep)
And wake no longer

Betrayal down where the waters meet
My lover laid our vows at another’s feet
Demons moved my dagger neath the sycamore trees
Knelt and prayed to Jesus come and wash my sins clean

CHORUS

Take them down
Let them drown…
