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 don't

The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing

And the shields 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 crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don't forget me

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
