Untie the boat, turn on the water   I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone   It's alright   Untie the boat, turn on the water   I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone   It's alright      Carry me out, into the ocean   Save me a prayer and then lower the side   Untie the boat, turn on the water   I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone   But it's alright      And you can hold me down   But don't you let me breathe   Let it wash all over me   Let it wash all over me      They cut off my head, child, and gave it away   And poisoned the people, I wanted to save   And left me here dark an' rolling around   I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone   But it's alright      And you can hold me down   But don't you let me breathe   Let it wash all over me   Let it wash all over me      Untie the boat, turn on the water   I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone and it's alright   Untie the boat, turn on the water   I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone   It's alright      Carry me out, into the ocean   Save me a prayer and then lower the side   Untie the boat, turn on the water   I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone   But it's alright      And you can hold me down   But don't you let me breathe   Don't you let me breathe   Don't you let me breathe   Let it wash all over me   Let it wash all over me   Don't you let me breathe   Don't you let me breathe   Don't you let me breathe
