the water

sözlerini johnny flynn’ in yazıp, laura marling ile birlikte seslendirdiği sakin, nefis bir parça.


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


the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me i’m done
with my dying


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



the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me i’m done
with my dying



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


the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me i’m done
with my dying


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


the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me i’m done
with my dying


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


the water sustains me without even trying
the water can’t drown me i’m done
with my dying
