You Remind Me Of You - Robyn Hitchcock

You remind me of you when I reach for myself

Deep in the water below

You’re the reflection and I am the self

Self in a hurry with nowhere to go

You remind me of me when I stand on the deck

Feeling the wind in my hair

Out on the ocean I’m only a speck

Speck of existence with nobody there

You remind me of angels that come in the snow

Melting like candles, their diamonds glow

See all the water go

See all the water go by

You remind me of me when I reach for the hand

Suddenly taken away

Clutching at you I could drown on dry land

I’m left with my fingers on a good day

You remind me of you when you’re down in the hold

I’ll have your babies if you’ll have my cold

See all the water go

See all the water go by
