Florence + The Machine - What The Water Gave Me Lyrics
Time it took usTo where the water wasThat's what the water gave meAnd time goes quickerBetween the two of usOh, my love, don't forsake meTake what the water gave meLay me downLet the only soundBe the overflowPockets full of stonesLay me downLet the only soundBe the overflowAnd don't poor AtlasThe world's a beast of a burdenYou've been holding on a long timeAnd all this longing(?)And the shields are left to rustThat's what the water gave usSo lay me downLet the only soundBe the overflowPockets full of stonesLay me downLet the only soundBe the overflow'Cause they took your loved onesBut returned them in exchange for youBut 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 cruel mistressAnd the bargain must be madeBut oh, my love, don't forget meI let the water take meLay me downLet the only soundBe the over flowPockets full of stonesLay me downLet the only soundBe the overflowLay me downLet the only soundBe the overflowPockets full of stonesLay me downLet the only soundBe the overflow
