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
~#**************#~
But oh, my love, dont forsake me
~#**************#~
Take what the water gave me
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Lay me down
~#**************#~
Let the only sound
~#**************#~
Be the overflow
~#**************#~
Pockets full of stones
~#**************#~
Lay me down
~#**************#~
Let the only sound
~#**************#~
Be the overflow
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
And oh, poor Atlas
~#**************#~
The worlds a beast of a burden
~#**************#~
You’ve been holding on a long time
~#**************#~
And all this longing
~#**************#~
And the ships are left to rust
~#**************#~
Thats what the water gave us
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
‘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 couldnt have it any other way
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
‘Cause shes a cruel mistress
~#**************#~
And a bargain must be made
~#**************#~
But oh, my love, dont forget me
~#**************#~
When I let the water take me
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
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
