Late on a Friday, my husband went up to the mountains with three friends
They took provisions and bottles of bourbon to last them all through the weekend
And one hundred miles they drove, just to fish in a stream
And there's so much water, so close down
When they arrived, it was cold
And dark, so they set up their camp quickly
They warmed up with whiskey, they walked down to the river
Where the water flowed by starkly
In the moonlight they saw the body of a girl
Floating face
down
And there's so much water, so close down
As he holds me now, I'm pretending
It feels like I'm frozen inside
And behind me, I'm frozen inside



My eyes, my daily disguise
Everything's turning too white
Well, it was too hard to tell
How long she'd been dead
Well, the water was that close to freezing
But one thing's for sure
The girl's...
hadn't died very well
to judge from the bruising
They stood there above
her all thinking
the same thoughts
at the same time
There's so much water
so close down
So this is what they did
They carried her downstream
between the two rocks
They gently wedged her
After all it was late
They'd come a long way
With a girl
she was going nowhere
They stayed up
there fishing
for two days
They reported
when they came back down
There's so much water
so close down
As he hugs me now
I'm pretending
I'm pretending
I'm pretending
It feels like
I'm frozen inside
And behind my eyes
My daily disguise
Everything's turning too white
Well the newspaper said
That the girl had been
strangled to death
And she was
also molested
On the day of the funeral
The radio reported
That a young man
had been arrested
I went to the service
of a stranger
I drove past the lake
Out of town
And there's so much water

So close down
As he holds me now
I'm pretending
Everything's frozen inside
And behind my eyes
My daily disguise
Everything's turning too white
I'm pretending
I don't know
I'm pretending

Just go, go away
Okie dokes

Plus I don't know
What to do
I've gotta fix this
I destroy for you



I'm fine









you
