hold me closer - bodies of water lyrics

[verse 1]
he woke up all the women – and kids
they took their belongings * and crossed in the night
but he stayed behind them – and lay
down by the river * and stared at the sky
then – then i crept
over from out of the bushes * into the fire light
then – then i leapt
and set upon him while they watched us – from the other side

[chorus]
draw me closer – hold me through the night
and at daybreak – let a little light
fall from my hand to the cords of your hip
til the head from the socket is wrenched by the force of it
we can tussle – til somebody dies
or in rhythm – we can improvise
in the mud – a majestic détente
‘ere we’re are ‘auf ihrem weg zum horizont’
i will paint your name on the rocky ground
i will lay my right hand of blessing down

[verse 2]
when it was finished – i knelt
and lifted him softly – up from the ground
the children were crying – but his wives
were torpidly smoking – and milling around
when – when he’d limped
halfway cross the water he turned back – and waved goodbye
then – then i flexed
i blew him a kiss and then vanished – from the riverside
[chorus]
draw me closer – hold me through the night
and at daybreak – let a little light
fall from my hand to the cords of your hip
til the head from the socket is wrenched by the force of it
we can tussle – til somebody dies
or in rhythm – we can improvise
in the mud – a majestic détente
‘ere we’re are ‘auf ihrem weg zum horizont’
i will paint your name on the rocky ground
i will lay my right hand of blessing down
