Dear mother i learned to soon how to say goodbye When daddy sold Talland house in 1895 And the water comes back to me but it's all wrong Don't you ask for the reason why My body won't float no more Dear sister don't be afraid of our siblings Their hands are heavy but light'll be the evening And the water comes back to me but it's all wrong Don't you ask for the reason why My body won't float no more I can't fight any longer this disease I can't even write properly this letter So I'll do what I can to stop this The solution will be to drown Dear husband this is the last of my scribblings You can go on without me and I'm sure you will And the water comes back to me but it's all wrong These stones are the reason why My body won't float no more
