Slow, we paddle through the lake

Straight to the very center of the darkest water

Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface

The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below

And though your arms and legs are under

Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plunder

My love will be there still

True, it's chilling to behold

Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boats

Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain

A land of mere suspension where someday we must go

And though your arms and legs are under

Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plunder

My love will be there still

Though your arms and legs are under

Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plunder

My love will be there still
