[Intro] Water keeps the measure One drop, then another [Verse 1] Cold seam climbing up my coat River takes the words I wrote A ferry bell goes dull and small My open hand can't find the wall The bank slips back behind the rain I count each breath, then lose the name Your blue scarf caught against the stone I let the current choose alone [Chorus] I go under, slow and still Heavy water, weightless will If you call, it travels thin Through the dark that closes in I go under, out of sight Held below, unheld by night [Verse 2] The surface folds like window glass A gull turns once, then lets me pass My pockets fill with silt and leaves The river edits what it keeps I see the bridge in broken lines A pale clock with no hands or time Somewhere you are locking up the door I don't know what I came back for [Chorus] I go under, slow and still Heavy water, weightless will If you call, it travels thin Through the dark that closes in I go under, out of sight Held below, unheld by night [Bridge] No panic now, just pressure No answer, just the pull The reeds move over me The moon is blurred and full [Outro] One drop, then another Water keeps the measure Your blue scarf on the stone The river carries on
