With a tiny rope and a bag of stones and her heart broke and a wishing bone
She's going in, she's going home
Oh, this little golden eye, fighting every day behind the light
Behind the light
Walking faster down the street, with eyes and no shoes on her feet
She's going on a journey, determined to complete
This is farewell, this is goodnight, the last time she will see the daylight
See the daylight
And she's going on a journey
Always walking down the road
And the water is always calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
That's when she went away, away from the light of day
Standing by the riverside, patiently waiting for the tide to come along
To come along
The water's going to her feet and on her body, wind so cold and sweet
So cold and sweet
And she's going on a journey
Always walking down the road
And the water is always calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
And the stars were brightly shining
When she reached out, they were gone
And the water started calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out x8
And she's going on a journey
Always walking down the road
And the water is always calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
And the stars were brightly shining
When she reached out, they were gone
And the water started calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
When a shiny light hit her eye
She turned around and climbed towards the sky
Towards the sky
She's going in, she's going home
Oh, this little golden eye, fighting every day behind the light
Behind the light
She's going on a journey, determined to complete
This is farewell, this is goodnight, the last time she will see the daylight
See the daylight
Always walking down the road
And the water is always calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
To come along
The water's going to her feet and on her body, wind so cold and sweet
So cold and sweet
Always walking down the road
And the water is always calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
And the stars were brightly shining
When she reached out, they were gone
And the water started calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
Always walking down the road
And the water is always calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
And the stars were brightly shining
When she reached out, they were gone
And the water started calling,
"My little child, please come home,"
She turned around and climbed towards the sky
Towards the sky

For some reason, this song reminds me of "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin.
This song is about a girl attempting suicide by drowning herself. It's unclear if she actually dies. AURORA has said that the song "ends in light," which could mean that the girl rises back to the surface of the water and survives, or that she reaches heaven or some sort of afterlife.
