Lyrics for Turn On The Water

Untie the boat Turn on the water I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone It's alright Untie the boat Turn on the water I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone It's alright Carry me out Into the ocean Save me a prayer and then lower the side Untie the boat Turn on the water I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone But it's alright And you can hold me down But don't you let me breathe Let it wash all over me Let it wash all over me They cut off my head, child, and gave it away And poisoned the people I wanted to save And left me here dark an' rolling around I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone But it's alright And you can hold me down But don't you let me breathe Let it wash all over me Let it wash all over me Untie the boat Turn on the water I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone and it's alright Untie the boat Turn on the water I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone It's alright Carry me out Into the ocean Save me a prayer and then lower the side Untie the boat Turn on the water I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone But it's alright And you can hold me down But don't you let me breathe Don't you let me breathe Don't you let me breathe Let it wash all over me Let it wash all over me Don't you let me breathe Don't you let me breathe Don't you let me breathe
