Eve

(álbum: World On The Ground - 2020)

A long, long time ago in a little Texas town
Eve made her way to the field below
To have a look around, girls, to have a look around

Down, down Eve did go, further in the fields
When she heard a voice singing sweet and low
Dig in with your heels, girl, dig in with your heels

Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel coming down
All around her brain was the sweet refrain
Keep following the sound, girl, keep following the sound

They'll try to take you for a ride
They'll muddy all the good you've got inside
They'll twist your heart until it's black and blue
But don't let 'em keep you down, girl
Don't let 'em keep you down

Miles, miles she did go, when at last she came upon
The source of the sound in the watery ground
And the night was coming on, girls, the night was coming on

Through the wilderness and the cypress trees
And the night birds all around
She made her way to the river's edge
And her mother there she found, girls, her mother there she found

Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel coming down
When her mother said, come and rest your head
I'll tell you what I've found, girl, I'll tell you what I've found

They'll try to take you for a ride
They'll muddy all the good you've got inside
They'll twist your heart until it's black and blue
But don't let 'em keep you down girl
Don't let 'em keep you down
