Matt Simons - 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
