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 up 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 couldn't have it any other way
‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress And a bargain must be made But oh, my love, don’t forget me When 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 Be the overflow Pockets full of stones
