G                                       Am
Don't you hear this wasted cry, life is over you
(Mommy come back because the water's all gone)
            F             G               Am
But you've seen who's in Heaven, is there anyone in Hell?
Mommy come back because it's dark now

Take care, take care
(Mommy come back  because the water's all gone)
Somewhere she glows divine, somewhere she wakes alone
But you, you've promised in your loving eye
God it's dark now
(Mommy come back because it's dark now)

Gone, Gone the water's all gone
(Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
Stay low on the ground
The fire can drive you, savage and afraid
Spitting the dawn, come along before the animals awake
(Gone, gone, the water's all gone)
(Mommy come back because it's dark now)

Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left
If your mama don't love ya' then the riverbed might
Gone, gone, the water's all gone
(Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone)

Am
Gone gone the water's all gone
Am
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Am
Gone gone the water's all gone
Am
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Am
Gone gone the water's all gone
Am
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Am
Mommy come back because it's dark now
Am
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Am
Mommy come back because it's dark now
Am
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Am
Mommy come back because it's dark now
