River Song
Flowers From the Man Who Shot Your Cousin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to go
To the slow
Moonlit river

I'd slip my hand
Into your pants
And make you quiver

And when we'd tasted each other

We'd lie and rest

Half undressed
To the sound of water moving

Line by Line Meaning

We used to go
We would often head towards

To the slow
Towards the gentle-flowing

Moonlit river
River bathed in the soft glow of moonlight

I'd slip my hand
I would surreptitiously move my hand

Into your pants
Inside your garment covering the lower half of the body

And make you quiver
Induce one to shiver or shake involuntarily

And when we'd tasted each other
After we had savoured one another's achievements

We'd lie and rest
We would recline and relax

Half undressed
Partially unclothed

To the sound of water moving
To the soothing noise created by the movement of the water
