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 |
