Floater

Lyrics

To my mistress the bridge, I don't feel well I'll be leaving, you can't stop me We've been carrying on too long We've been carrying on too long I'm sorry, but I'm gone I've got a bad reputation to think about I've been dirty, I've been wrong Maybe someday they'll find that I've washed up I'm stepping out to clear my head I'm breathing in to fill my lungs We're all dead We're all dead Farewell scenic highway overpass It's better this way anyway My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride But I left my heart at the side of her bed And she's got the warmest body that I've ever had Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love Bring the children to the water And let them see what heartache did This matrimony needs a witness And you can teach them to swim And you can teach them to swim And you can teach them all to swim Don't let your dreamers Grow up to be dead men Drown us at birth Save her some time Drifting on romantic holiday Breathless as her cold arms cover me Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love
