Cold, cold water, surrounds me now, and all I've got is your hand.

Damien Rice
About This Quote

The meaning of this poem is that it is hard to survive in the cold when everything you have is taken away. It is very hard to live when everything that your life depends on is gone. The cold that the speaker feels is the absence of love. The hand of love is what makes it possible to get up and live again.
