johnny flynn - the water lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me, i’m done
with my dying…

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me, i’m done
with my dying…

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me, i’m done
with my dying…

[bridge]
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

[verse 4]
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

[chorus]
the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me, i’m done
with my dying…
