[Verse 1] Two lovers wandered down to the shore Hand in hand the evening before The day that their hands will be joined [Verse 2] She enters and swims with the foam He bids her come out and come home But deeper and colder she goes [Chorus] The silt of our wedding bed The pebbles where you lay your head Love, come in, the water is fine [Verse 3] When she is pulled beneath the rush He waits and waits, his face a flush Till the pale imitation dressed up [Chorus] The silt of our wedding bed The pebbles where you lay your head Love, come in, the minnows are witnesses The cause of our sickness is Love, come in, the water is fine [Bridge] Blood runs thicker than water, blood runs thicker than water, blood runs thicker than water, but both feel the same when your eyes are closed I am the river's daughter, I am the river's daughter, I am the river's daughter, and you'll be her son when we're both reposed Blood runs thicker than water, blood runs thicker than water, blood runs thicker than water, but both feel the same when your eyes are closed I am the river's daughter, I am the river's daughter, I am the river's daughter, and you'll be her son when we're both reposed [Final Chorus] Blood runs thicker than water, blood runs thicker than water, blood runs thicker than water, but both feel the same when your eyes are closed I am the river's daughter, I am the river's daughter, I am the river's daughter, and you'll be her son when we're both reposed [Outro] Love, come in Love, come in Love, come in, the water is fine
