To The Water - Matt Simons

I walked into the bedroom

On a rainy afternoon

And I heard her say to me

Not a moment to soon

She said «now don’t you worry

I will always be with you»

From the way she 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 pull 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 pull 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’m ready to close my eyes

They are heavy and so wide

I can feel it pull me under

Steady as the rising tide

So 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
