Your soul is black
Your blood is cold
Your skin is rough
You have a heart of gold
Your face so dark
With clammy hair
Upon your flesh
Wet creatures everywhere
Gives me a shiverWild river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
And sent a shiver
Round my neck
Wild river
Wet golden shrine
You stole my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spineYou hate the sun
But rain is nice
You love the snow
But are afraid of iceYou're dressed in mud
Unsafe to dive
I want your gold
But you want my lifeWild river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
And sent a shiver
Round my neck
Wild river
Wet golden shrine
You stole my mind
and tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spineYou tried to drown me
Never mind to swim
And tried to eat me
Put a shiver on my skin
You tried to hold me
With a million fins
And tried to heal me
Wash off my sinsWild river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
And sent a shiver
Round my neck
Wild river
Wet golden shrine
You stole my mind
And tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spineYou tried to hold me
With a million fins
And tried to eat me
Bite off my sins
You tried to drown me
Never mind to swim
And tried to kill me
Set a shiver on my skin
