When we fell in I held you close til I couldn't feel the blood in my hands
We sink down frozen calm as we drift in a blanket of sleep
Come to and roll over
Cough up a lung of water
Stand up to get moving
And I catch you out the corner
Wide-eyed at the shipwreck
Cut my arm just to see if I'm dreaming
Cover up the damage but nothing you do can stop the flood
And we drink to your memory
Under dark love a place so heavenly
Now I brace for what's ahead of me
And we live for the tragedy
If the cut gets deeper
I'll find traces of you in the blood clot
24 stitches to mend up a day's work
And the winter is over
And the ivy is crawling again
Cover up the damage the same way I hold my head in my hands
And we drink to your memory
Under dark love a place so heavenly
Now I brace for what's ahead of me
And we live for the tragedy
Don't go out too deep
Might get caught underneath half asleep
You belong with me
I'm at your door
Wake up and see your life is on the shore
And on that day I saw you turn ripe to rust peach to grey
Keep going down to that place where the water kissed you goodbye
And we drink to your memory
Under dark love a place so heavenly
Now I brace for what's ahead of me
And we live for the tragedy
