Lead me to the water Lay my body bare Soak away the poison And leave me for the air Lead me to the water To heal my heavy heart And take away the burden That’s hanging in your arms
And run away my love Don’t turn around for me We’re stranded in the dark We’re fighting hard to breathe And look at what we lost Our bodies cold and clear Remember what it’s like To have no fear And look at what we lost Our bodies cold and clear Remember what it’s like To have no fear
Why have we been waiting When summers they are few To look out at the wonders And honour what we knew And though our hearts are beating The blood is burning dry And crawling through our bodies To keep ourselves alive So run away my love Don’t turn around for me We’re stranded in the dark We’re fighting hard to breathe
Lead me to the water Lay my body bare Soak away the poison And leave me for the air Lead me to the water To heal my heavy heart And take away the burden That’s hanging in your arms
