Come in the Water - The Barr Brothers

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 butt 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 butt of a gun

Fight the battle on your knees

Till' the sea swallows everyone
