What The Water Gave Me

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
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
...
And oh, love, don't forget me
When I let the water take me
