Florence and the Machine - What the water gave me lyrics

Your rating:

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
And ooh, 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 ooh, 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 ooh, 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
