Jan Lee Jansen

Lyrics

[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
