By the standing pool where you drank me
And filled me full of thirsty love
And the memory of water?
I wonder if a king still fishes there
His back toward the burned out air
His laughing catches singing loud
Of the memory of water
Your taste is blood and ecstasy
But I must drink you all alone
You’re freckled like a speckled egg
A dove but this bird has flown
O stay with me sweet memory
O stay with me
I wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
As pain flows through me like champagne
Of the memory of water
I wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree By the standing pool where you drank me And filled me full of thirsty love And the memory of water? I wonder if a king still fishes there His back toward the burned out air His laughing catches singing loud Of the memory of water Your taste is blood and ecstasy But I must drink you all alone You’re freckled like a speckled egg A dove but this bird has flown O stay with me sweet memory O stay with me I wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree By the standing pool where you drank me As pain flows through me like champagne Of the memory of water Explain Request ×
