Time, it took us
to where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
In between the two of us
And oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me
[Coro]
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 ship's are left to rest
That's what the water gave us
[Coro]
'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned it 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 a bargain must be made
And oh, love don't forget me
When I let the water take me
[Coro]
