Slow, we paddle through the lake
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface

The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below

And though your arms and legs are under

Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still


True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain

A land of mere suspension where someday we must go

And though your arms and legs are under

Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still


Though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
