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 [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
 But 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
