Lyrics
Vocal accappella with narration Intro.)
I was sitting by the rivers edge, strumming my guitar when she spoke to me. In a voice soft and low that seemed to flow right through to me, she said"Come on , put on my cool skin, come on put on my cool skin".
I was in way over my head, still I followed her down by the rivers edge.A feeling began to grow from my head down to my toes and it was good.She said'Come on put on my cool skin, Come on put on my cool skin".
I was told when they found me the river had nearly dround me, taken me for her own.Was it the pale kiss of death, upon her lips , a bliss I`de never known, she said' Come on put on my cool skin, Come on put on my cool skin".
