What The Water Gave Me

Time it took us To where the water was
That’s what the water gave me And time goes quicker
Between the two of us Oh, my love, don’t forsake me Take what the water gave me Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
And oh poor Atlas
The world’s a beast of a burden
You’ve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That’s what the water gave us So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You could have had it any other way
'Cause she’s a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don’t forget me But, I let the water take me So, lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
So, lay me down
Let the only sound
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Yeahhhhhhh
Yeahhhhhhh
Yeahhhhhhh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeahhhhhhhhh
Yeahhhhhhhhh
Yeahhhhhhhhh
