The Barr Brothers - Come In The Water lyrics

Come in the water There ain't nobody else here Feel it still when the planes are coming I just want to lie here Left our homes, left our friends Left the wombs we lived in Spread out along the road And I've been weak When my Lord was calling The water will take our load On the day that you were born Legions laid down their arms On the day you lost control Legions leapt for your throat Telling me I'm wrong... Is the face in the water unmistakable? Black's the color of the sea When it's free from the light of the sun Your crystal ball... Your faith in the age of medicine And the children are asleep With their heads on the bu*t of a gun You put up a wall... Keep the bad ones out And the good ones in Fight the battle on your knees Till' the sea swallows everyone Come in the water Or is there somewhere you have to go? We'll keep a lantern open In case you loose your way in the cold On the day that you were born Legions laid down their arms On the day they found you out Left no shadow of a doubt And the children are asleep With their heads on the bu*t of a gun Fight the battle on your knees Till' the sea swallows everyone
