time it took us
to where the water was
thats what the water gave me
and time goes quicker
between the two of us
but oh my love dont 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 worlds a beast of a burden
youve been holding on a long time
and all this longing
and the ships are left to rust
thats 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
because 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
because shes a cruel mistress
and a bargain must be made
but oh my love dont forget me
while i let the water take 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
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
