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 |
|
Lay me down |
|
Let the only sound |
|
Be the overflow |
