I walked into the bedroom on a rainy afternoonAnd I heard her say to me “Not a moment too soonâ€She said child don't you worryI will always be with youFrom the way she'd looked at meI believed it to be true when she said, when she saidI'm ready to close my eyesSteady and hold tightI'm gonna be crossing over to heaven and the great divideAnd I I'm ready to close my eyesHeavy and so wideI can feel it pull me under steady as the rising tideTake me to the water by the road that leads you downAnd lay me downIt was early in the eveningShe gave all that she could giveAnd I felt her leaving meBut I learn how to live when she saidWhen she saidI'm ready to close my eyesSteady and hold tightI'm gonna be crossing over to heaven and the great divideAnd I, I'm ready to close my eyeHeavy and so wideI can feel it pull me under steady as the rising tideTake me to the water by the road that leads you downAnd lay me downLay me downI'm ready to close my eyesSteady and hold tightI'm gonna be crossing over to heaven and the great divideAnd I, I'm ready to close my eyesHeavy and so wideI can feel it pull me under steady as the rising tideTake me to the water by the road that leads you downTake me to the water scatter me aroundTake me to the water by the road that leads you downTake me to the water scatter me aroundTake me to the water by the road that leads you downAnd lay me downLay me down
