Down in the Water

Keep my mind
 Down in the water where I bathe and let it
 Steep my mind
 Down in the water
 I have been a fool for shame
 Like a sunburnt lover of the far-away
 But when you come home waving all your tourist claims
 The gate falls where you would go
 Keep my mind
 Down in the ocean where I played and keep it
 Down deep in time
 Down in the water
 Draw my eye to center stage
 To the little ghost who wears my name
 And keep it there until the white lights fade
 To blue and red and back again
 Like a coward, like a fool
 I've been washing away
 Every scar, every bruise on my face
 Down to, down to the bottom
 Keep my mind
 Down in the water where I bathe and let it
 Steep my mind
 Down in the water
