Jan Lee Jansen Cassandra Jenkins

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Jan Lee Jansen, ain't the body a strange thing?
How it keeps on going?
It stays around when we are gone

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
