Jan Lee Jansen

(album: Play Till You Win - 2017)

When I woke up last night under the water
Too scared for open eyes, but too cold to stay under
You were the first thing on my mind
And when I finally found the shore
I walked the ten long miles back toward our home
The house in the dark with just a flicker of a TV set
And through the window I stared at your guilty silhouette
And said

Jan Lee Jansen, ain't the body a strange thing?
How it keeps on going?
It stays around when we are gone

The fish have sucked the wounds you left, found shelter in my thighs
The cold black water bloomed the dress I wore that final night
So when you're sound asleep, alone in our soft bed
I'll approach your living lips just to steal your breath
And then

Jan Lee Jansen, ain't the body a strange thing?
How it keeps on going?
It stays around when we are gone
Jan Lee Jansen, ain't the body a strange thing?
How it keeps on going?
It stays around when we are gone
