- The Dam At Otter Creek Lyrics / with translationswhen all that's left to do is
reflect on what's been done
this is where sadness breaths
the sadness of everyone
just like when the guys
built the dam at otter creek
and all the water backed up
deep enough to dive
we took the dead man in sheets to the river
flanked by love
deep enough to dive
deep enough to dive
be here now
we took him there and three
in a stretcher made from trees
that had passed in the storm
leave the hearse behind
to leave the curse be here now
reflect on what's been done
this is where sadness breaths
the sadness of everyone
just like when the guys
built the dam at otter creek
and all the water backed up
deep enough to dive
we took the dead man in sheets to the river
deep enough to dive
deep enough to dive
be here now
we took him there and three
in a stretcher made from trees
that had passed in the storm
leave the hearse behind
to leave the curse be here now
