Ciderdown - Ophelia in the River

Water girl, you loved him good
Flowers in your hair
The garlands that you wear
Water girl, you swim so sweet
Weighing down your clothes
Things that no one knows
When he pierced the curtain, did he stab you in the dark
Are the songs you're singing meant to keep these things apart
The river and your brain
So easy to explain
It's just going insane
Water girl, you loved too soon
Your daddy warned you so
Things the whole world knows
When the knife met skin, was it your ribs that he broke
Did you cry so softly for the words that he once spoke
The love you had before
A boy so dry and sore
Now the river loves you more
