The Water (Johnny Flynn) : C G C F C G Am Am F F

The song is about finding solace and sustenance from flowing water. It describes building a small boat to ride with the current where the river runs deep. Though the water is sustaining, it also represents an end to dying and a journey into new horizons where the sea meets the sky. The water cannot drown the singer and leads them home, represented as a vow with every breath.
