In the Water Songtext
von ilyAIMY

It′s cold down here, but I am used to the chill
And the fish are more friendly now than when at first I fell
And the weeds are quicker to dance than when my eyes first closed
It is my secret hiding place
Nobody else knows

It's dark down here, but I am used to the dim
And I have the minnows to teach me how to swim
And I can stay under longer now than even you or dad
And I′m heavy as a stone
And I'm light as a lily pad

Don't worry mother
I have found another home
You′ll find me in the water
You′ll find me in the water

I know you told me not to stray away too far from home
And to stay away from strangers who would do me harm
But he promised I could be the Lady of the Lake
But he lied because I died just up there in the cave


But a storm kept his promise and carried me to the deep
I wear water flowers in my hair and mud between my feet
Don't cry for me mother, I have found another home
You′ll find me in the water
You'll find me

Muddy water keeps a secret
Better than if you lock it up
And throw away the key
Hush now, Hush now
Go to sleep
Breathe
Breathe

So I like to tease the rowboats, tickle their bellies, white
To free fish from hook and net, while boatmen turn their eyes
They blame it on the hour, on the season, on their luck
But the trick is it′s me all along, they never think to look

But if you want to find me, to play with me once more
Then wait until the floods rise, wait upon the shore
And I will come to you, you know nothing but doubt
A storm brought me in
And a storm will bring me out


Don't lose sleep for me mother, I have found another home
You′ll find me in the water
You'll find me in the water
Find me, you'll find me, you′ll find me
You′ll find me in the water
You'll find me
