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 (                      ) (                        )
