(K.J.Garside / C.Gray)

........my daughter,
take her from the water
I laid her down
For she drinks from the river,
I pray forgive her,
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

Girl a string of lovers,
Found dead beneath her,
They pulled her down,
For she drinks from the river,
I pray forgive her,
Don't let her drown,
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

A prayer for the mind who's thread bare,
For those who dare to tread there,
Now the sun is gone,
Oh I pray, pray for my daughter,
I pray support her,
Don't let her drown,
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.
