Alabama 3 - Wade Into The Water lyrics

I wanna go deep down yeh I wanna go deep down yeh 'Cause I remember Met down by the river, the blue moon on the rise I broke down like Brando moved by your Marilyn Monroe eyes We were swimmin in silver, we were searchin for gold And we promised that night that we would never grow old And you sang to me Wade into the water with me, wash my body down Take me to the bottom baby, I won’t make a sound Baptise me like a child, let salvation start ‘Cause if you take me to the bottom of the river baby I’ll take you to the bottom of my heart We got brighter than heaven, Lord yeh, we shone like the stars I got as … as drunk as Bogart, you were just smokin’ like Bacall We were diggin’ for diamonds, we were divin’ for pearls Higher up than the satellites and out of this world And you sang to me Wade into the water with me, wash my body down Take me to the bottom baby, cos I won’t make a sound Baptise me like a child, gotta let salvation start ‘Cause if you take me to the bottom of the river baby I’ll take you to the bottom of my heart Now the … the river is frozen, the blue moon is down My drink has run dry, Lord ya cigarettes gone out All the diamonds and the pearls, yeh all the silver and the gold They were all turned to dust, yeh it’s so cold Singin’ it Wade into the water with me, wash my body down Take me to the bottom baby, cos I won’t make a sound Baptise me like a child, gotta let salvation start ‘Cause if you take me to the bottom of the river baby I’ll take you, I will take you there So Wade into the water with me, wash my body down Take me to the bottom baby, cos I won’t make a sound Baptise me like a child, gotta let salvation start ‘Cause if you take me to the bottom of the river baby I’ll take you to the bottom of my heart
