Jan Lee Jansen

[Verse 1]

When I woke up last night under the water

Too scared for open eyes, but too cold to stay under

You were the first thing on my mind

And when I finally found the shore

I walked the ten long miles back toward our home

The house in the dark with just a flicker of a TV set

And through the window I stared at your guilty silhouette

And said

[Chorus]

Jan Lee Jansen, ain't the body a strange thing?

How it keeps on going?

It stays around when we are gone

[Verse 2]

The fish have sucked the wounds you left, found shelter in my thighs

The cold black water bloomed the dress I wore that final night

So when you’re sound asleep, alone in our soft bed

I’ll approach your living lips just to steal your breath

And then

[Chorus]

Jan Lee Jansen, ain't the body a strange thing?

How it keeps on going?

It stays around when we are gone

Jan Lee Jansen, ain't the body a strange thing?

How it keeps on going?

It stays around when we are gone
