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 on a long time  
And all this longing  
And the shields 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 could have had it any other way
'Cause she's a crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made  
But oh, my love, don't forget me  
But I let the water take 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
Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow  
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow
