The Drowned Girl Lyrics - Best Of Sight & Sound - David Bowie

Once she had drowned and started her slow descent 

Down the streams to where the great rivers broaden 

Oh, the open sky chant most magnificent 

As if it was acting as her body's guardian 

Wreck and duck weed slowly increased her weight 

By clasping her in their slimy grip 

Through her limbs, the cold blooded fishes played 

Creatures and plant life kept on, thus obstructing her last trip 

And the sky that same evening grew dark as smoke 

And its stars through the night kept the brightness still soaring 

But it quickly grew clear when dawn now broke 

To see that she got one further morning 

Once her pallid trunk had rotted beyond repair 

It happened quite slowly that she gently slipped from God's thoughts 

First with her face, then her hands, right at the last with her hair 

Leaving those corpse-choked rivers just one more corpse
