Down Under the ground There's a town there I've been down there In the middle of the lake I hold your hand for goodness' sake When the women and the kids are asleep The walls there And the skin of the sheep So lock all the windows and doors The Devil's coming for you and yours Love was all that it could give But it tides so other towns could live They don't bury bodies from the drowned But they drowned our little town Like a lamb to his slaughter Buried in water Buried in water Buried in water When the leaves go floating away in the pale moonlight bury anchors in our garden and we can let our heartbeats go Love was all that it could give But it tides so other towns could live They don't bury bodies from the drowned But they drowned our little town Love was all that it could give But it tides so other towns could live They don't bury bodies from the drowned But they drowned our little town We're like the lambs to its slaughter Buried in water Buried in water Buried in water
