[Intro] Take a swim in the water Take a swim in the water Dear Arkansas daughter
[Verse 1] You with the dark curls, you with the watercolored eyes You who bears all your teeth in every smile Says I can always hear you sing, I wanna hear you scream to me While a stranger braids my hair back out on the street And in your dreams we are shooting at snakes And while you were asleep, I was surely awake
[Pre-Chorus] I was talking at a cigarette There's nothing left to say But he should have been there anyway For I didn't sing a single song, all day
[Chorus] As my love for you dies As my love for you dies As my love for you is steadily dying As sharp and serious as a pistol in the eye
[Verse 2] My heart is full of swords Full of, full of swords Your love, it knows the Lord Tie my hands and I'm on my knees As I kneel down, I kneel down in the sea To the ocean floor, I will sink Like a steel chest full of weapons And all in spite of the tide, you will rise Like a red, ripe, red, ripe apple Take a swim in the dirty water Dear Arkansas Daughter Take a swim in the dirty water Darling, child, true love of mine
[Chorus] As my love for you dies As my love for you dies As my love for you is steadily dying Darling, child, true love of mine Darling, child, true love of mineTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
