Christabel strips and slips like a dream
Breaking ice with arms that gleam with pain
Disdain, she throws her head
And glides against the streamThrowing me her bravest smile
Defiant, glittering, shivering guile
Catching a cold is quick this time
But fish? Fish may take a whileChristabel dips and slips from me
Hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free
Triumphant, reluctantly, struggling
Six legs held up for me to seeDon't be so scared, it's nothing new
It's the same old game, only fun with two
But fast and over and over
Can't play this game with youEverything she tries to tell me
Leaves me open mouth and still
Foolishly arrange tomorrow
The way I always willChristabel trips and grips my hand
But never to be saved
For a second I understand
And I fall with herI'll never leave you, love you
See you change into the man I want
But it's not for long this thing
It's not for longEverything she tries to tell me
Leaves me open mouth and still
Foolishly arrange tomorrow
The way I always willEverything she tries to tell me
Leaves me open mouth and still
Foolishly arrange tomorrow
The way I always will
