You were such a strong swimmer and you taught me how to never fear those tall waves and you stayed in those deep waters always inviting to a bed on the bottom
And that current took you away and it made you pay and pay when I saw you I didn't know your name
It was such a long winter when the ice had thawed there wasn't much that survived it it takes more than a strong swimmer to stay above water with a body divided
And that current took you away and it made you pay and pay when I saw you I didn't know your name when I see you they'll give us different names
I clear my mind of joy and sorrow river doesn't know tomorrow rolls along with such simplicity you told me you had stashed away a note that would explain the way you felt if we would ever find you gone the river only knows to carry on the river only knows to carry on
