            white

2.When they arrived it was cold and dark, they set up their camp quickly
  Warmed up with whisky they walked to the river, where the water flowed past darkly
  In the moonlight they saw the body of a girl floating face down
  There's so much water, so close to home

3.It was too hard to tell how long she'd been dead, the river was that close to
    freezing
  But one thing for sure, the girl hadn't died very well, to judge from the bruising
  They stood there above all thinking the same thoughts at the same time
  There's so much water, so close to home

4.They shifted her downstream from their fishing, between two rocks they gently
    wedged her
  After all they'd come so far, it was late, and the girl would keep, she was going
    nowhere
  They stayed up there fishing for two days, on the Sunday they reported it when they
    came back down
  There's so much water, so close to home

5.The newspapers said that the girl had been strangled to death, and also molested
  On the day of the funeral the radio reported that a young man had been arrested
  I went to the service a stranger, I drove past the lake out of town
  There's so much water, so close to home

  When he holds me now I'm pretending, nothing is working inside
  And behind my eyes, my daily disguise
  Everything's turning to white
