Alvvays Next of Kin We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight You took something before you went in the shower To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight If I had known you couldn't swim We would never have gone in I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I'm left sifting through the reeds The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt The grass so tall, I knew we wouldn't be found We climbed into the stream sure no one would be heard And in no time at all there wasn't a sound If I had known you couldn't swim We would never have gone in I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I hoped for And now I am left sifting through the reeds Now cold to the skin, inform the next of kin Now cold to the skin I left my lover in the river The only one I see I lost his hand in the current And now I am left flowing through the trees
