Quote
I pulled you from the waterAnd kept you in my bed.A lost, forsaken daughterOf a past that isn’t dead.Somehow love from sweet obsessionBranched and broke a heart of stone.Distrust became confession,Solemn vows of blood and bone.But in the wind, I hear the strain,Pilgrim soul that time has found.It moans to whisk you back again.Bid me follow, sweetly drown.Don’t go near the water, love.Stay away from strand or sea.You cannot walk on water, love.The lough will take you far from me.
