๐ Lyrics
I was in the rushes
By the banks of the river sweet
The current that tugged at my skirts
Nearly strong enough to pull me right off of my feet
And I should've listened to grandmother
And I should've stayed with the sheep
But the face of the girl in the water's
The same as the face of the girl who's been haunting my dreams
She comes to me every night
Her body a song, a poem
In the candlelight
It tempts me away from the Lord
Salvation anew past the banks of the river shore
She whispers my name
In an un-Christian way
And tells me for once
I don't have to behave
I don't care if she's the devil!
I don't want to be saved!
I lay down in the current and let the river
Carry me away
Lay down, Christian lass
Chaste no more and free at last
Think no more of sin and toil
Of sheep and wolves, your mortal coil
In baptism bow your head
River rushes make our bed
Leave behind your narrow home
And men shall leave you well alone
Marriage is a damned curse
A life of servitude and worse
So spurn the blood and flesh of Christ
And lay with me beneath the ice
A dowry of rotten gold
Forsake for me your narrow world
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
By the banks of the river sweet
The current that tugged at my skirts
Nearly strong enough to pull me right off of my feet
And I should've listened to grandmother
And I should've stayed with the sheep
But the face of the girl in the water's
The same as the face of the girl who's been haunting my dreams
She comes to me every night
Her body a song, a poem
In the candlelight
It tempts me away from the Lord
Salvation anew past the banks of the river shore
She whispers my name
In an un-Christian way
And tells me for once
I don't have to behave
I don't care if she's the devil!
I don't want to be saved!
I lay down in the current and let the river
Carry me away
Lay down, Christian lass
Chaste no more and free at last
Think no more of sin and toil
Of sheep and wolves, your mortal coil
In baptism bow your head
River rushes make our bed
Leave behind your narrow home
And men shall leave you well alone
Marriage is a damned curse
A life of servitude and worse
So spurn the blood and flesh of Christ
And lay with me beneath the ice
A dowry of rotten gold
Forsake for me your narrow world
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
The current catch you, dance and twirl
Rusalka, and the shepherd girl
