Fresh Water - Kirsty McGee

Fresh water, cool on my skin

Lay me down, wash me clean

Wash all memory of sin

Take these arms, fold me in

Fire, fire, i won’t fight

All i can see is your blistering light

For my sins i burn tonight

The body burns quickly but the soul stays alight

The body knows nothing till the soul cries out

The soul knows nothing till the body burns

What you see is only one half

The other lies rusting in a box of nails

Sweet sin leads to a silvery light

The soul knows nothing till the body burns

The body knows nothing till the soul cries out

He soul knows nothing till the body burns

Fresh water, cool on the skin

Can’t get no rest from the state that i’m in

Take me down, wash me clean

Wash all memory of sin

Stars in the heavens look down on me

Gods and you angels what do you see

A body that burns in a salt-black sea

That body would be empty if it wasn’t for me…

The body knows nothing till the soul cries out

The soul knows nothing till the body burns

Fresh water, cool and clean

Carry me down to the bottom of the sea

Won’t you quench this fire that’s burning me

The soul feels nothing till the body swims free

Fresh water, my desire

Carry me down, my mouth full of fire

Won’t you take me down to your endless sea

The body knows nothing till the soul swims free

The body knows nothing till the soul cries out

The soul knows nothing till the body burns

The body knows nothing till the soul cries out

The soul knows nothing till the body burns
