Lyrics Dead Man's Bones feat. The Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir - Buried In Water

Children: What a lamb to it's slaughter
Buried in water

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 kid's 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

Like a lamb to his slaughter
Buried in water
Buried in water

Buried in water

Children:
Love was all that they could give.
They died so other towns could live.
They unburied bodies from the ground when they drowned our little town.

When the leaves
Go floating away
In the pale moonlight
Bury anchors in our garden
And we can let our heartbeats go
