Various Artists - Next of Kin lyrics

[Verse 1] We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight You took something before you went in the shower To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight [Pre-Chorus] If I'd known you couldn't swim We'd never have gone in [Chorus 1] I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I am left sifting through the leaves [Verse 2] The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt The gra** so tall, I knew we wouldn't be found We climbed into the stream, sure no one would be heard And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound [Pre-Chorus] If I'd known you couldn't swim We'd never have gone in [Chorus] I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I am left sifting through the leaves [Bridge] Now cold to the skin Inform the next of kin Now cold to the skin [Chorus 2] I left my love in the river The only one I see I lost his hand in the current And now I'm left blowing through the trees [Outro] Ooh Ooh
