What The Water Gave Me lyrics

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 m..e

Lay me do...wn
Let the only sound
be the o..verflow
pockets full of stones

Lay me do...wn
Let the only sound
be the o....ve..rflo.....w

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 to rust

That's what the
water gave to us

So lay me do...wn
Let the only sound
be the o..verflow
pockets full of stones

Lay me do..wn
Let the only sound
be the o..ve...rflo......w
'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 the bargain
must be made

But oh my love
don't forget me
when I let the water
take m......e

So lay me do....wn
let the only sound
be the o..verflow
pockets full of stones

Lay me do...wn
Let the only sound
be the o..ve...rflo.......w

So lay me do....wn
let the only sound
be the overflow
pockets full of stones

Lay me do....wn
Let the only sound
be the o...ve..rflo.......w
yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah

Yeah eah eah eah eah
Yeah eah eah eah eah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah eah eah eah eah
Ye.......ah

Hoo ye...ah
Oooh aah
