Letter by the Water - The Japanese House

Back down to the water front

Sunlit hue to keep my body warm

I guess you love this man, I couldn’t tell

It’s the cold wet hand against my mother’s spell

Water bring my body in

I know she loves me through thick and thin

Slip into the water front

With your heart in your bag and your shoes taken off

I was so unsure you ever had the gall

Don’t you understand I didn’t need it at all

Water bring my body in

I know she loves me through thick and thin

Current come pull me down

I won’t take a breath, I wanna drown

And I call on the water to clean

The remains of the dirt that it leaves

To be brave and alert and pristine

There’s a stain in the heart of me

Water bring my body in

I know she loves me through thick and thin

Current come pull me down

I won’t take a breath, I wanna drown
