y secret friend
My secret friend, I’ll take you to the river
[My secret friend, you’ll take me to the river]
My secret friend, so we can swim forever
[My secret friend, so we can swim forever]
You have learnt
You are not alone
You have braved the weather.
When the storm
Cut you to the bone
There was always shelter
My secret friend, I’ll take you to the river
My secret friend, so we can swim forever
[In your skin
To die a little death
This time there’s no codeword]
[In every day
Frayed and hollow ends
Dreams we’d love, subversive (submersive?)]
[My secret friend, you’ll take me to the river
My secret friend, so we can swim forever]
[Break my deepest promise]
Then Chris says something I can’t hear.
My secret friend, I’ll take you to the river
[My secret friend, you’ll take me to the river]
My secret friend, so we can swim forever
[My secret friend, so we can swim forever]
