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
