Artist: Lady Lamb
Track: Dear Arkansas Daughter
Lyrics
take a swim in the water
take a swim in the water
dear Arkansas daughter
you with the dark curls
you with the watercolor eyes
you who bares all your teeth in every smile
he says 'i can always hear you sing,
i wanna hear you speak 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
I was talking at a cigarette with nothing left to say
but he should of been there any way
cause I didn't sing a single song all day
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
my blood is full of swords
full of swords
your heart it knows the lord.
tie my hands and I knock my knees
as I kneel down, kneel down in the sea
to the ocean floor I will sink
like a steel chest full of weapons
on the spine of the tide you will rise
like a red ripe, a 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
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 mine
true love of mine
