INDIGO GIRLS - Salty South lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Mister pull up a chair <br>

I got time for tears <br>

Tell me all the stories that you never did <br>

Of the salty south <br>

The Seminoles held out <br>

While Geronimo died in a lonely jail <br>

<br>

A thousand tides, and <br>

A thousand waves <br>

Takin' it all away <br>

<br>

It'll come back in <br>

We'll be gone by then <br>

And it's a miracle we ever learned to live <br>

<br>

Drain that land <br>

For a better plan <br>

Sugarcane and the civil man <br>

But now the ringin' dead them pines <br>

Planted in that time <br>

We gonna keep on killin' till they get it right <br>

<br>

A thousand tides, and <br>

A thousand waves <br>

Takin' it all away <br>

<br>

It'll come back in <br>

We'll be gone by then, oh <br>

And it's a miracle we ever learned to live <br>

<br>

I remember the wind <br>

As it was settlin' <br>

And every sun goin' down was a picture then <br>

But we look back at 'em framed <br>

They all look the same <br>

There's no sense of time, no sense of pain <br>

<br>

A thousand tides, and <br>

A thousand waves <br>

Takin' it all away <br>

<br>

And it'll come back in <br>

We'll be gone by then, oh <br>

And it's a miracle we ever learned to give<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
