Work in progress Erika in the Water

Erika in the water, the water is cold
She cannot breathe nor move, nor can she behold
What lies at the bottom, waiting down below
Erika in the water, the water is cold

Erika in the water, sinking like a stone
Nobody will see her, going down alone
Nobody will find her, nor cry over her bones
Erika in the water, sinking like a stone

Erika in the water, she slipped and she fell
Ain't nobody down there, nobody to tell
Whom she saw in the garden, drinking from the well
Erika in the water, now who will she tell

Erika in the water, the water is cold
She cannot breathe nor move, nor can she behold
What lies at the bottom, waiting down below
Erika in the water, lo and behold!
