Softly, the river did flow; We felt it in between our toes, and carried off all of our clothes. Swiftly, your body let go. I held you there just laying close, oh no, I don’t know How I’d forgotten the way, forgotten the way, Ooh oh ooh oh. Sweetly, you fell into me. Your soul was never mine you see; you gave it up unwillingly. Ooh oh ooh oh. Safely, I kept it to be The string that held you there unwittingly. Better shelter it than let it breathe. I’d forgotten the way, forgotten the way, Ooh oh ooh oh. Strongly, I crushed all its dreams. You cannot hope to ever set it free. Better smother it and let it bleed. Oh, it got in the way, It got in the way, ooh oh ooh oh. Your veins running cold, Though your eyes stay their hold With an absence of love and longing. Your fingers are weak, Like the words that you’d speak When you told me I meant more than breathing. But that was a lie; No matter how hard I tried, I never saw in you the pain that goes with loving. It got in the way, got in the way, Ooh oh ooh oh, of my love. Slowly, I set you downstream; Your beauty I had never seen, strangled in my need to mean more to you.
