๐ 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, there's nothing left to say
But he should have been there anyway
For 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 heart is full of swords
Full of, full of swords
Your love, it knows the Lord
Tie my hands, and I knock 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 on the spine 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
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 mine
True love of mine
True love of mine
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, there's nothing left to say
But he should have been there anyway
For 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 heart is full of swords
Full of, full of swords
Your love, it knows the Lord
Tie my hands, and I knock 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 on the spine 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
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 mine
True love of mine
True love of mine
