Undertow - Suzanne Vega

    I believe right now if I could
    I would swallow you whole
    I would leave only bones and teeth
    We could see what was underneath
    And you would be free then

    Once I thought only tears could make us free
    Salt wearing down to the bone
    Like sand against the stone
    Against the shoreline

    I am friend to the undertow
    I take you in, I don't let go
    And now I have you

    I wanted to learn all the secrets
    From the edge of a knife
    From the point of a needle
    From a diamond
    From a bullet in flight
    I would be free then

    I am friend to the undertow
    I take you in, I don't let go
    And now I have you

    I wanted to see how it would feel
    To be that sleek
    And instead I find this hunger's
    Made me weak

    I believe right now if I could
    I would swallow you whole
    I would leave only bones and teeth
    We could see what was underneath
    And you would be free then

    I am friend to the undertow
    I take you in, I don't let go
    And now I have you

    I am friend to the undertow
    I take you in, I don't let go
    And now I have you
