[Verse]
           
We walked alon

              
g the rocks fo

            
r nearly an ho

ur
           
I caught the w

              
ay you looked 

             
at me in the s


unlight
           
You took somet

              
hing before yo

              
u went in the 


shower
           
To help suppre

              
ss the things 

              
that make you 

     
feel uptight
             
If I had known

              
 you couldn't 

           
swim we would 

             
never have gon

  
e in

[Chorus]
            
 I left my lov

         
e in the river

 
            
 The only one 

    
who sees
            
 I lost his ha

          
nd in the curr

ent
             
It was the lif

           
e I wanted and

     
 I’d hoped for
             
And now I am l

           
eft sifting th

          
rough the leav

es

[Verse]
           
His arms so ha

              
rd, I saw his 

              
skin through h

   
is t-shirt
           
The grass so t

              
all, we knew w

              
e wouldn't be 


found
           
We climbed int

              
o the stream s

              
o no one will 


be heard
           
And in no time

              
 at all there 

         
wasn't a sound
             
If I’d known y

            
ou couldn't sw

            
im we would ha

              
ve never gone 


in

[Chorus]
            
 I left my lov

         
e in the river

 
            
 The only one 

    
who sees
            
 I lost his ha

          
nd in the curr

ent
             
It was the lif

           
e I wanted and

     
 I’d hoped for
             
And now I am l
