Lyrics

[00:09.88] Time it took us
[00:13.41] To where the water was
[00:17.24] That's what the water gave me
[00:21.45] And time goes quicker
[00:24.96] Between the two of us
[00:28.90] Oh, my love, don't forsake me
[00:32.71] Take what the water gave me
[00:38.00] Lay me down
[00:41.84] Let the only sound
[00:45.58] Be the overflow
[00:49.25] Pockets full of stones
[00:53.26] Lay me down
[00:57.40] Let the only sound
[01:00.90] Be the overflow
[01:12.47] And oh poor Atlas
[01:16.36] The world's a beast of a burden
[01:19.60] You've been holding on a long time
[01:24.24] And all this longing
[01:27.64] And the shields are left to rust
[01:32.80] That's what the water gave us
[01:37.17] So lay me down
[01:40.47] Let the only sound
[01:44.43] Be the overflow
[01:48.40] Pockets full of stones
[01:52.40] Lay me down
[01:55.51] Let the only sound
[01:59.72] Be the overflow
[02:06.75] cause they took your loved ones
[02:09.36] But returned them in exchange for you
[02:12.99] But would you have it any other way
[02:18.28] Would you have it any other way
[02:22.50] You could have had it any other way
[02:28.00] cause she's a crueler mistress
[02:31.93] And the bargain must be made
[02:35.83] But oh, my love, don't forget me
[02:39.68] But I let the water take me
[02:46.81] Lay me down
[02:50.21] Let the only sound
[02:54.17] Be the over flow
[02:57.60] Pockets full of stones
[03:01.74] Lay me down
[03:05.33] Let the only sound
[03:09.26] Be the overflow
[03:20.64] Lay me down
[03:23.90] Let the only sound
[03:27.72] Be the overflow
[03:31.23] Pockets full of stones
[03:35.70] Lay me down
[03:38.67] Let the only sound
[03:42.47] Be the overflow
