lyrics

I was only seventeen when the water fell
You whisked me away and in your arms I dwell
But you could never break the thoughts of going down
And like a ship we sunk and the dreams we had they drown.

You were floating away from me, like two ships on the sea
And in the autumn I would lay you down to sleep
And tell our child that light would guide you home
But I had trouble breathing on my own.

God took me far away
As the days they past and I could only break
I left her when she turned seventeen
With the hopes she’d never loose the man she’d meet.

I told her that the light would guide me home
And that God could save the soul and we’d be whole.
In his arms I’d crawl to fall asleep
And I’d be better off within my dreams

God took me far away
As the days they past and I could only break
I left her when she turned seventeen
With the hopes she’d never loose the man she’d meet.
And with hopes that she would never blame me.
