I remember sitt'n with you my father's father Now there's almost nothing that reminds of you Memories are fading out and it makes me sad somehow That all you left here is an emtpy golden frame Down by the water Down by the water Down by the water Down by the water line Is an empty golden frame Down by the water Down by the water Down by the water Down by the water Where you use to grow the roses on fertile ground The seeds I sow are sprouting out I keep your instruments in the shed And when we meet I'm wearing your black hat Down by the water where no ones got a mask on Down by the water were all standing naked in the Down by the water where you gonna meet your ancestors Down by the water line Down by the water line For almost twenty years now you've been alone Since he has left you must be a long way home Within the last four year we came close I take care as I good as I can Down by the water where no ones got a mask on Down by the water were all standing naked in the Down by the water where you gonna meet your ancestors Down by the water line Down by the water line Down by the water line I was born with nothing then you made me a king How could I ever deserve this Life I'm living Down by the water where no ones got a mask on Down by the water were all standing naked in the Down by the water where you gonna meet your ancestors Down by the water line Down by the water line
