To The Water

I walked into the bedroom On a rainy afternoon And I heard her say to me Not a moment too soon

She said child 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 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

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 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
