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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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
