Ida This Water Lyrics

there's a bird on the land
there's a bird on the bay
there's a sun in the sky
but it won't go away

and the clock on the wall says
remeber all that you've said
don't think of the dangers
you could have avoided if only he'd stayed oh this water is making my death
every season stealing my man from my bed
and this winter should carry him through
to the next
all I can offer is yours to take
