[Intro] [Soft tremolo guitar, reeds rustling] [Verse 1] I woke up where the grass was dry With my hat beside me, I don't know why Torches burning, voices near Someone saying, "Here, she's here" [Verse 2] They wrapped a towel around my arms They said they'd saved me from the harm I nodded small, I didn't say Who really carried me away [Pre-Chorus] I've never been the brave one I've never told a lie But I'm keeping one small secret Like a star inside the sky [Chorus] Amber in the reeds Shining back at me Nobody else can see Amber in the reeds I'll keep you safe in me Amber in the reeds [Verse 3] Morning came in the big black car I watched the marsh go by so far And there between the leaves so green Two little lights that no one's seen [Bridge] [Gentle guitar] They'll fill the lido, paint it new They'll tell the story wrong, it's true But I know where the dark water's deep And I know who I'll go and meet [Final Chorus] Amber in the reeds Shining back at me Nobody else can see Amber in the reeds I'll keep you safe in me Amber in the reeds [Outro] [Quietly] I'll come back... I'll come back [Tremolo fades into water lapping]
