Lyrics:
[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 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 [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 mine
