Discover the story of the song > The Water – feat Laura Marling – Johnny Flynn

The protagonist sings about the river being his home and how it sustains him without even trying. He asks the Lord to take him away if he can't leave himself, and asks for help to build a small boat that will keep him afloat, allowing him to navigate the deep river. As he sails deeper and faster, each night brings new stars and a tune in his heart. He says the land he used to know is now just a dream, and the horizon is barely visible, but as long as he has the water, he is okay.
