Next of Kin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight You took something before you went in the shower To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight [Pre-Chorus] If I'd known you couldn't swim We would never have gone in [Chorus] I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I am left sifting through the weeds [Verse 2] The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his T-shirt The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found We climbed into the stream sure no one would be hurt And in no time at all, there wasn't a sound [Pre-Chorus] If I'd known you couldn't swim We would never have gone in [Chorus] I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I am left sifting through the weeds [Bridge] No colour to his skin Inform the next of kin No colour to his skin [Chorus] I left my love in the river The only one I see I lost his hand in the current And now I am left looking through the trees [Outro] Ooh Ooh
