The Drowned Girl - David Bowie (大卫·鲍伊)

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 it's 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
