what the water gave me

florence and the machine'in yer yer suyun coşkusuna kapılan, hızla geçen zamana karşın suyun sunduğu dinginliğe yelkenleri indiren ve üstüne eklenen arındırma terapisine kayıtsız kalamayan muazzam parçası. parça bizi intihara giderken duyulabilecek delilik halet-i ruhiyesinde arsızca dolaştırıyor, yer yer düşüşler geri dönüşlerle hayatın en huzurlu noktası sudaki hipnotik salınımlara itiyor, kimi zamansa virginia woolfun intiharından esinlenen cepteki taşlarla kendini kurtarıcı olan suyun kollarına cesurca bırakış sahnesiyle tüyleri diken diken ediyor.

e tabi suyun coşkusunu, bulanmadıkça verdiği iç huzuru kim daha iyi yansıtabilirdi ki.



time it took us
to where the water was
that's what the water gave me
and time goes quicker
between the two of us
oh, my love, don't forsake me
take what the water gave me

lay me down
let the only sun
be the overflow
pockets full of stones

lay me down
let the only sun
be the overflow

and oh poor atlas
the world's a beast of a burden
you've been holding on a long time
and all this longing
and the shields are left to rust
that's what the water gave us

so lay me down
let the only sun
be the overflow
pockets full of stones

lay me down
let the only sun
be the overflow

'cause they took your loved ones
but returned them in exchange for you
but would you have it any other way?
would you have it any other way?
you could have had it any other way
'cause she's a crueller mistress
and the bargain must be made
but oh, my love, don't forget me
but i let the water take me

lay me down
let the only sun
be the over flow
pockets full of stones

lay me down
let the only sun
be the overflow

lay me down
let the only sun
be the overflow
pockets full of stones

lay me down
let the only sun
be the overflow
