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 up a long time
|
And all this longing
|
And the ships 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 cruel mistress
|
And her temper cannot be tamed
|
But oh, my love, don¡¯t forsake me
|
Take what the the water gave 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
|
