Don't Ask for the Water
Lyricist:Ryan Adams
I hate this old place What it represents And I hate who I was Who I ended up since If you learned how to swim Just in case you drown
Don't ask her for the water 'Cause she'll swallow you down
And she's ten miles of peace In the hardest of nights And her belfry's got arch But her rooftops are all right But down here in the sewer I'm smelling a rat
Don't ask her for the whiskey 'Cause her water's all that
And what horses we rode Through what somber fields With our lovers at war Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And the dust on our heels And the infidels screamed 'It's all but a lie'
Don't ask her for the water 'Cause she'll teach you to cry
Don't ask her for the water 'Cause she'll teach you to cry
And her weapon of choice Is a red patterned dress And a sack full of stones With her hands on her chest And a book full of quotes And a tight fastened lip
Don't ask her for the water 'Cause she'll sink like a ship
Don't ask her for the water 'Cause she'll sink like a ship
