The Shallows Lyrics by Bear Hands

You’ll Pay for This

2016

[Verse 1]
Come sick and sore
Come black with sin
Come rich and poor
I'll let you in

Come defend them
Come learn to live
You'll see a change
I promise it

[Chorus]
Down at the waters edge
Swimming in the shallows
We're all friends here
And that's what matters
That's what matters

[Verse 2]
Come young and old
Come sunk with shame
Come back, come home
Don't ever leave

[Chorus]
Down at the water's edge
Swimming in the shallows
We're all friends here
And that's what matters
That's what matters

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Come sick and sore
Come black with sin
Come rich and poor
I'll let you in

[Chorus]
Down at the water's edge
Swimming in the shallows
We're all friends here
And that's what matters
That's what matters
