[Verse]
A#m G#m
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
A#m G#m
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
A#m G#m
You took something before you went in the shower
A#m G#m
You have suppressed the things that make you feel uptight
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
If I had known you couldn't swim we would never have gone in
[Chorus]
F# C# B
I left my love in the river
F# C# B
The only one who sees
F# C# B
I lost his hand in the current
C# A#m G#m
It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
C# A#m G#m
And now I am left sifting through the leaves
[Verse]
A#m G#m
His arms so hard, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
A#m G#m
The grass so tall, we knew we wouldn't be found
A#m G#m
We climbed into the stream so no one will be heard
A#m G#m
And in no time at all there wasn't a sound
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
If I’d known you couldn't swim we would have never gone in
[Chorus]
F# C# B
I left my love in the river
F# C# B
The only one who sees
F# C# B
I lost his hand in the current
C# A#m G#m
It was the life I wanted and I’d hoped for
C# A#m G#m
And now you’re left sifting through the leaves

No colour to his skin, inform the next of kin
C# B
No colour to his skin

I left my love in the river
