To The Water

Matt Simons

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse] I walked into the bedroom on a rainy afternoon and I heard her say to me not a moment too soon She said child don’t you worry I will always be with you From the way she’d looked at me I believed it to be true When she said when she said [Chorus] I’m ready to close my eyes steady and hold tight I’m gonna be crossing over to heaven and the great divide and I I’m ready to close my eyes they’re heavy and so wide I can feel it put me under steady as the rising tide Take me to the water by the road that leads you down And lay me down [Interlude] [Verse] It was early in the evening She gave all that she could give And I felt her leaving me But I learned how to live When she said when she said [Chorus] I’m ready to close my eyes steady and hold tight I’m gonna be crossing over to heaven and the great divide and I I’m ready to close my eyes they’re heavy and so wide I can feel it put me under steady as the rising tide Take me to the water by the road that leads you down And lay me down Lay me down [Chorus] I’m ready to close my eyes steady and hold tight I’m gonna be crossing over to heaven and the great divide and I I’m ready to close my eyes they’re heavy and so wide I can feel it put me under steady as the rising tide Take me to the water by the road that leads you down Take me to the water Scatter me around Take me to the water by the road that leads you down Take me to the water Scatter me around Take me to the water by the road that leads you down And lay me down Lay me down

Cette chanson évoque une conversation touchante entre un enfant et une figure maternelle sur le seuil d’un moment décisif. Dans un ambiance empreinte de mélancolie, elle rassure l’enfant en lui promettant qu’elle sera toujours présente, même dans l’au-delà. L'idée de traverser vers un monde meilleur se manifeste à travers des métaphores liées à l'eau, symbolisant un voyage vers la paix et la sérénité. Le contexte semble être celui du départ, où l'on réalise que la vie terrestre touche à sa fin. Les paroles traduisent une acceptation douce et un lâcher-prise face à l'inéluctable, tout en célébrant les enseignements reçus et l'amour que l'on perd sans jamais vraiment quitter. Cela souligne l’universalité du passage et le lien indéfectible entre ceux qui restent et ceux qui s'en vont.
