THE WATER TOOK HER AWAY song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
she was so full of happiness
at the beginning of her life
prepared to be a bride
prepared to be a wife
put on her long white dress
and went down to the river
to take a picture of the joy
that her wedding bells would give her
the photographer was ready
the day a lovely day
she stood there in the shallows
and the water
my only daughter
the water
took her away
she stepped off of the shore
and turned and smiled at us
the bottom only one foot deep
her face all full of trust
believing that her love
and her heart was safe and strong
and the future was without an end
but she was wrong, oh she was wrong
because her dress was thick and heavy
as we saw her in dismay
and the clear blue dragged her down
as the water
my only daughter
the water
took her away
there is no telling when the end
will come for you at last
and even in the midst of friends
tomorrow's all that's left of the past
and we tried to pull her out
but the current was too cold
as the cloth filled up with wet
as we watched her fate unfold
and no matter how we cried
and no matter how we prayed
we had to watch her as she died
as the water
the water
my only daughter
the water took her away
and now we all stand
at the top of the waterfall
and see her body floating
deep down into the call
like a white flag waving under
and we wonder yes we wonder
how long it will be
until the each of we
surrender
surrender
