Dark as the colour of a river
I taste your name
Roll it around my tongue
Dark as the colour of a river
I sense there's a danger
That does not hinder me
I take you in
Before I realise
And I breathe with you
Before I realise
Like a lover
Down the river
Like the stories never told
Like a mirror
Of the river
With you I see myself
Dark as the colour of a river
You're coming closer
I dare not even speak
Dark as the colour of a river
I see you're trembling
I reach out my hand
I take you in
Before I realise
And I breathe with you
Before I realise
Like a lover
Down the river
Like the stories never told
Like a mirror
Of the river
With you I see myself
No regrets
They're wasted anyway
Turn around
I'm not here to harm you
I take you in
Before I realise
And I breathe with you
Before I realise
Like a lover
Down the river
Like the stories never told
Like a mirror
Of the river
With you I see myself
