the beginning of the disaster
was difficult to spot
the speed of your reaction
was to slow to make a difference
far to slow to make it stop

you got everything together, you sailed it down the river
you said it was relaxing then you disappeared forever
i can not remember, the times we were together
perhaps it's just the water, pulling both of us under

now there's nothing by the river
but your washed up umbrella
not enough to make a difference
not enough to make it stop

it cut thought the water as we watched it getting closer
and you said that it would soon fall down the drain
you said it didn't matter but then that is you all over
and the danger of the water meant it wasn't worth the bother

danger danger water water
danger danger water water
danger danger water water
danger danger water
