What the Water Gave Me

[Florence Welch] 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
