Down By The Water

Down by the water

My love said to me

I don't think I can do this now

So won't you let me be?

My love, oh my love

Left me all alone

Now my skin is cold, my heart is made of stone

Down by the water

People walk on by

They look up and see the sun shining so high

Down by the water

Is where I left my tears

And that's where I'll keep them safe

For all my years

Oh, my darling

Don't forget my name

I beg of you, please understand

That I'm the one to blame

Down by the water

That's where I dived in

And the sun don't shine no more

It's sink or swim

And the sun don't shine no more

It's sink or swim
