Delaney Talks to Statues

Delaney talks to statues
As she dances 'round the pool
She chases cats through
Roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools
She speaks a language of her own
That I cannot discover
But she knows I love her so
When I tuck her 'neath those covers
Father
Daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, Dreams float
Life's good on our boat
Delaney draws me pictures
She finger paints the sand
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs
Then I do my bad handstand
She's growing up too fast for me
And asking lots of questions
Some I know the answers to
And some I'm looking for suggestions
Father
Daughter
Born by the water
Surf's up, sun's down
Life in a beach town
And some of the things I've seen
Maybe she won't have to see
But there's a lot I want to pass along
That was handed down to me
Delaney talks to statues
And dances 'round the pool
She chases cats through roman ruins
And stomps on big toad stools
She speaks a language of her own just a little like her mother
But she knows I love her so when I tuck her 'neath those covers
Father
Daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life's good on our boat
Shells sink, dreams float
Life's good on our boat
