She sees, oh she feels
The water recalls all I have forgotten
the carefully packed suitcase
returning in ruins
the origin of stains
fading on denim jeans
imprints of a journey that filled
the in between of fall and spring
She sees, oh she feels
The water recalls all I have forgotten
and i have forgotten it all
even your face
but she remembers you
she remembers that place
two days by bus and one by train
a freezer full of chicken
(Tom Waits singin' the refrain)
She sees, oh she feels
The water recalls all I have forgotten
a ten minute drive to the deepest blue you'll ever know
to the sweet, sweet voice of the undertow
singing throw yourself onto these rocks below
throw yourself
below
must you die never knowing
what it is to really let go
