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
