The Water (feat. Laura Marling)

Lyrics

All that I have is a river
 The river is always my home
 Lord, take me away
 For I just cannot stay
 Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones
 The water sustains me without even trying
 The water can't drown me, I'm done
 With my dying
 ♪
 Please, help me build a small boat
 One that'll ride on the flow
 Where the river runs deep
 And the larger fish creep
 I'm glad of what keeps me afloat
 The water sustains me without even trying
 The water can't drown me, I'm done
 With my dying
 ♪
 Now, deeper the water I sail
 And faster the current I'm in
 That each night brings the stars
 And the song in my heart
 Is a tune for the journeyman's tale
 The water sustains me without even trying
 The water can't drown me, I'm done
 With my dying
 Now, the land that I knew is a dream
 And the line on the distance grows faint
 So wide is my river
 The horizon a sliver
 The artist has run out of paint
 Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
 And the big yellow sun leads me home
 I'm everywhere now
 The way is a vow
 To the wind of each breath by and by
 The water sustains me without even trying
 The water can't drown me, I'm done
 With my dying
