River - Pearl and the Beard

Leave me to the river

Lay me down, let the water wash over

If this is nowhere, then let us be nowhere

If I’m underwater

Then let this be love

Lick the salt from my fingers

Covet me like a neighbor

Here, you’re my witness, still we are strangers

Are we just strangers?

I call it love

Thin my blood in the water

Take my bones, find the finger

Then, near the end, you’ll finally name it

Then you will feel it

There you’ll find love

Love

Follow me to the river

Let me drown, let the water take over

Watch how the weight of your garment, it holds me

How it surrounds me

For you this is love
