[Verse 1]
Two lovers wander down to the shore
Hand in hand the evening before
The day that their hands will be joined

[Verse 2]
She enters and swims with the foam
He bids her come out and come home
But deeper and colder she goes

[Chorus]
The silt of our wedding bed
The pebbles where you lay your head
Love, come in, the water is fine

[Verse 3]
When she's pullеd beneath the rush (ah, ah, ah)
Hе waits and waves, his face aflush (oh, oh)
'Til the pale imitation drifts up

[Chorus]
The silt of our wedding bed
The pebbles where you lay your head
Love, come in
The minnows our witnesses
The cause of our sickness is
Love, come in, the water is fine
[Bridge]
Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water
But both feel the same when your eyes are closed

I am the river's daughter
I am the river's daughter
I am the river's daughter
And you'll be her son when we're both reposed

Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water
But both feel the same when your eyes are closed

I am the river's daughter (oh, daughter)
I am the river's daughter (daughter)
I am the river's daughter (daughter)
And you'll be her son when we're both reposed

[Outro]
Blood runs thicker than water (the silt of our wedding bed)
Blood runs thicker than water
Blood runs thicker than water (the pebbles where you lay your head)
But both feel the same when your eyes are closed
I am the river's daughter (love, come in)
I am the river's daughter
I am the river's daughter (love, come in)
And you'll be her son when the water is fine
The minnows our witnesses
The cause of our sickness is
Love, come in
Love, come in
Love, come in, the water is fine
