Cassandra Jenkins - Jan Lee Jansen lyrics

When I woke up last night under the water
Too scared for open eyes
But too cold to stay under
You were the first thing on my mind
And when I finally found the shore
I walked the ten long miles
Back toward our home
The house in the dark with just
A flicker of a TV set
And through the window I stared
At your guilty silhouette and said

Jan Lee Jansen
Ain't the body a strange thing?
How it keeps on going?
It stays around when we are gone

The fish have sucked the wounds you left
Found shelter in my thighs
The cold black water bloomed the dress
I wore that final night
So when you’re sound asleep
Alone in our soft bed
I’ll approach your living lips just
To steal your breath and then

Jan Lee Jansen
Ain't the body a strange thing?
How it keeps on going?
It stays around when we are gone
Jan Lee Jansen
Ain't the body a strange thing?
How it keeps on going?
It stays around when we are gone
