The 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 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 couldn't have it
any other way
'Cause she's a
crueller 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 overflow
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
