Dear Arkansas Daughter

(앨범: After - 2015)

Take a swim in the water
Take a swim in the water
Dear Arkansas daughter

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

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'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 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
