What the Water Gave Me

What the Water Gave Me - The Kisslcats

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
