Buried in Water

Buried In Water - Dead Man's Bones/The Silverlake Conservatory of Music Youth Chorale

Like a lamb to its slaughter

Buried in water

Down

Under the ground

There's a town there

I've been down there

In the middle of the lake

I hold your hand for goodness' sake

When the women and the kids are asleep

The walls there

And the skin of the sheep

So lock all the windows and doors

The Devil's coming for you and yours

Love was all that it could give

But it died so other towns could live

They don't bury bodies from the drowned

But they drowned our little town

Like a lamb to his slaughter

Buried in water

Buried in water

Buried in water

When the leaves

Go floating away

In the pale moonlight of day

Bury anchors in our ghosts

And we can let our heartbeats go

Love was all that it could give

But it died so other towns could live

They don't bury bodies from the drowned

But they drowned our little town

Love was all that it could give

But it died so other towns could live

They don't bury bodies from the drowned

But they drowned our little town

We're like the lambs to its slaughter

Buried in water

Buried in water

Buried in water
