Florence And The Machine- What The Water Gave Me Lyrics

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 you have it any other way? Would you have it any other  way? You couldn’t have it any other way ‘Cause she’s a crueler  mistress And her temper cannot be tamed. But oh, my love, don’t forget  me When 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
