marillion - memory of water lyrics

(helmer/hogarth/kelly/mosley/rothery/trewavas)
i wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
by the standing pool where you drank me
and filled me full of thirsty love
and the memory of water?
i wonder if a king still fishes there
his back towards the burned-out air
his laughing catches singing loud
the memory of water

your taste is blood and ecstasy
but i must drink you all alone
you're freckled like a speckled egg
a dove, but this bird has flown
o stay with me sweet memory
o stay with me

i wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
by the standing pool where you drank me
as pain flows through me like champagne
of the memory of water
