Song lyrics
Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

No one's daughter
Allow me that
And I can't let go of your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

Don't you know I love you
And I always have
Hallelujah
Will you come with me?

Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

"i think the bit at the very end is backwards, but i cant think of a way to play it backwards, im workin on it and if i find out i will let you know what it says anyone got any ideas on how to play stuff backwards?"

I just played it backwards and it says 'will you come with me'. It's the same as the middle part of the song, where the deep voices sing also.

In the middle of the song they sing:

Don't you know I love you
And I always have
Hallelujah
Will you come with me?


They took the last line and played it backwards at the end of the song.

"Love one's daughter"? It's actually "No one's daughter"... but, yeah, there is a connection. I also have to say that the vocals here... WOW. Especially when they sing together in the end (Damien going "Lord" and Lisa responding with "Can you hear me/now?"); I just love the way his voice almost cracks because it's so filled with emotion. It always makes me all teary-eyed. And the deep chorus is a strike of geniality.

I think this is the best damien rice song ever...when he say:
"cold , cold water surrounds me now"
i thought "heard like cold water surrounds him"
and i think this song about "blower's daughter"
"Love one's daughter"(cold water)
"And so it is The colder water The blower's daughter The pupil in denial "(blowers daughter)
what can i say ..go damien go

This is the most beautiful duet ever. I listen to it all the time, I means so much to me!

"Cold cold water surrounds me now,
and all I have is your hand!"

I am so in love with this song..

oh my God, this song is so beautiful
especially when Damien comes in again after all the chanting..wow

I prefer I remeber for a duet (if you know what i mean) but this song is really...spirital, or something...i fail to find more than a few things wrong with that album

love this song, its absolutely beautiful in every single way, and its got the best duet on the whole album. what is the chanting saying though? "you know i love you and i always have" is part of it i think......
anyhoo, amazing amazing song!
