Red String lyrics
Oh, you are careless, oh daughter of the moon
The heart you protect is an empty room
You lost the key at the river's mouth
I chose to dive to pull it out
The water was dark, but the sunbeam shone bright
And as I dove, day turned to night
The key it sparkled and caught my eye
I grabbed hold and swam towards the sky
The red string you tied
Still hangs from my wrist,
I wear it with pride
It reminds me never to reach
For a heart at the bottom of the sea
My body felt free, but my love it was dead & burned
As I rose to the surface with the key to return
On the riverbank you waited for me
Underneath the old olive tree
I held a flash of gold in my hand
That had lain so long in the mud and the sand
You shed one tear and took it from me
Then you threw it back into the sea
The red string you tied
Still hangs from my wrist,
I wear it with pride
It reminds me never to reach
For a heart at the bottom of the sea
