To the Water
I walked into the bedroom
on a rainy afternoon
and I heard her say to me
not a moment to soon
She said how don't you worry
I will always be with you
From the way she'd looked at me
I believed it to be true
When she said, when she said
I'm ready to close my eyes
steady and hold tight
I'm gonna be crossing over
to heaven and the great divide and I
I'm ready to close my eyes, they're heavy and so wide
I can feel it put me under, steady as the rising tide
Take me to the water
by the road that leads you down
And lay me down
It was early in the evening
She gave all that she could give
And I felt her leaving me
But I learned how to live
When she said, when she said
I'm ready to close my eyes
steady and hold tight
I'm gonna be crossing over
to heaven and the great divide and I
I'm ready to close my eyes, they're heavy and so wide
I can feel it put me under, steady as the rising tide
Take me to the water
by the road that leads you down
and lay me down
Lay me down
I'm ready to close my eyes
Steady and hold tight
I'm gonna be crossing over
To heaven and the great divide
And I, I'm ready to close my eyes
They are heavy and so wide
I can feel it put me under
Steady as the rising tide
Take me to the water
By the road that leads you down
Take me to the water
Scatter me around
Take me to the water
By the road that leads you down
Take me to the water
Scatter me around
Take me to the water
By the road that leads you down
And lay me down
Lay me down
on a rainy afternoon
and I heard her say to me
not a moment to soon
She said how don't you worry
I will always be with you
From the way she'd looked at me
I believed it to be true
When she said, when she said
I'm ready to close my eyes
steady and hold tight
I'm gonna be crossing over
to heaven and the great divide and I
I'm ready to close my eyes, they're heavy and so wide
I can feel it put me under, steady as the rising tide
Take me to the water
by the road that leads you down
And lay me down
It was early in the evening
She gave all that she could give
And I felt her leaving me
But I learned how to live
When she said, when she said
I'm ready to close my eyes
steady and hold tight
I'm gonna be crossing over
to heaven and the great divide and I
I'm ready to close my eyes, they're heavy and so wide
I can feel it put me under, steady as the rising tide
Take me to the water
by the road that leads you down
and lay me down
Lay me down
I'm ready to close my eyes
Steady and hold tight
I'm gonna be crossing over
To heaven and the great divide
And I, I'm ready to close my eyes
They are heavy and so wide
I can feel it put me under
Steady as the rising tide
Take me to the water
By the road that leads you down
Take me to the water
Scatter me around
Take me to the water
By the road that leads you down
Take me to the water
Scatter me around
Take me to the water
By the road that leads you down
And lay me down
Lay me down
