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 ships 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 Du have it any other way?
Would Du have it any other way?
Du 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
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 ships 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 Du have it any other way?
Would Du have it any other way?
Du 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
[Verse 1]
All a lone it was always there Du see,
And even on my own it was always standing Weiter to me,
I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the straße light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can Du see it coming now?
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down again,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down.
[Verse 2]
All a lone even when I was child,
I've always known there was something to be frightened of,
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the straße light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can Du see it coming now?
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
All a lone on the edge of sleep,
My old familiar friend comes a lies down Weiter to me,
And I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Smiling in the straße light,
Even with my eyes shut tight,
I still it coming now.
[Chorus Repeat] (X2)
All a lone it was always there Du see,
And even on my own it was always standing Weiter to me,
I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the straße light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can Du see it coming now?
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down again,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down.
[Verse 2]
All a lone even when I was child,
I've always known there was something to be frightened of,
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the straße light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can Du see it coming now?
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
All a lone on the edge of sleep,
My old familiar friend comes a lies down Weiter to me,
And I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Smiling in the straße light,
Even with my eyes shut tight,
I still it coming now.
[Chorus Repeat] (X2)
