Lyrics The Water - Bram Van Langen

He, once had a daughter
He, once had a daughter
And when he went into her room
To find her bedside table's gloom
He, once had a daughter

He, went out and bought her
He, went out and bought her
All that she wished for, and adored
But he could never get her more
Than her mother, would have got her
Than the water
She, went out and sought her

Tell me where the lost souls go, she said
Take me to my kin
Don't go 'cross the runnel, Charon read
You're not to begin

Deep in the belly of the ocean
Deprived of all of her life's motion
Floating farther, from her father
To the others, to her brothers
There are no bothers, only druthers
To her mother

She, went to the water
She, went to the water
She, went to the water
