Текст песни The Drowning (S. J. Tucker) с переводом

Carry me down to the water, Oh

Carry me down to the sea

Dowse my skirts in the water, Oh

And cut the red sun from me

Wrap me in flaxen and wool, Oh

Wrap me up in white

Take me down to the water, Oh

When the day has bled to night

Give me my sickle and broom, Oh

And tie my hands to the stake

Sally me down to the river, Oh

And take what you’re eager to take

Burn me and beat me and hold back my arms

Still the sun hides its face from me

And when the summer is gone, Oh

I’ll come flying back out of the sea

Drown me down in the cold tide, Oh

Hold back my hair from the waves

And when I breathe my last, Oh

Bless my bones in their greenwater grave

Carry me down to the water, Oh

Carry me down to the sea

Dowse my skirts in the water, Oh

And cut the red sun from me
