I’m sorry, but don’t I know you from somewhere

Aren’t you that pretty little sweet little girl who used to dance

At Mrs. Arlington’s parties, you’d glide into the room

Like some wingless angel on vacation from the moon

And you would take us from there and you would bring us to where

We’d feel like angels too

But it can’t be you

Cause didn’t I read that you lost your way by the water

You went with some gentleman for some stroll 

And you were ever seen or heard from again

And didn’t I hear

That nobody knows what really went on

Only the water and only the rocks in the water

Know where you’ve gone

I’m moving through the black

Is tearing through my mind

I need to find a way

To leave myself behind

The cliff has got a face

The canyon is alive

It’s calling out my name

It’s begging for my life

I climb onto the rocks

She’s there to help me up

Her eyes are wild with death and desire

And her skin is cold to my touch

Her hair’s a crown of reeds

Her lips are blue as the sky and the sea

And this is what she speaks to me

I didn’t bring you to this haunted river

But I ain’t never gonna let you leave

I didn’t bring you to this haunted river

But I ain’t never gonna let you leave

Breathe, breathe

But don’t take in more than you need

Breathe, breathe

Cause the river’s belly’s swelling and it’s ready to feed
