Holy water

from Driftwood by The Imaginary Suitcase

/

about

The autoharp always raises a lot of curiosity when I use it in public, so I had to do something with it, didn't I?

lyrics

I walk on the banks of the river
Gazing at the green grey reflections on the water
The song of the wind whistling through the reeds
Doesn’t make me feel good the way it always did

Chorus:
Holy water, take me like a mother takes a baby
Cause I don’t want to spend the rest of my days all alone
Holy water, take me like a mother takes a child
Cause I could really use a little comfort

Here am I, just a shadow of my former self
While every second takes you a little bit further from me
How could I not see it coming my way?
There’s no one but my pathetic self to blame

Chorus

I sit on a rock by the river
Cause I’m tired and it’s getting way too dark anyway
I can no longer see you drifting away
I can’t see the river take your lifeless body away

Chorus

Holy water, take me like a woman takes a lover
Cause I’m cold and scared and I feel so hopelessly alone
Holy water take me like the Lord takes a soul
Cause I will really need a lot of mercy
