come - Adrianne Lenker

Come help me die, my daughter

Walk me beside the river to the beach

Take a branch with your knife

Take my left with your right

Don’t be afraid, my girl

Take me into the shore

I’m not cold, I’m not cold

Take my hand, take a hold

Let me lie on your arms

I’m weightless in the sea

Up to my ears the salt sits

In a circle around me

Take my life into your life

Take a branch with your knife

Come help me die, my daughter
