Time it took us
To where the water was
Thatˇs what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, donˇt 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 worldˇs a beast of a burden
Youˇve been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
Thatˇs 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
ˉCause 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
ˉCause sheˇs a crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh, my love, donˇt forget me
When I let the water take me
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
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
