Delaney talks to statues<br>By: jimmy buffett, amy lee, mac mcanally<br>1994<br>Delaney talks to statues<br>As she dances 'round the pool<br>She chases cats through roman ruins<br>And stomps on big toadstools<br>She speaks a language all her own<br>That I cannot discover<br>But she knows I love her so<br>When I tuck her 'neath the covers<br><br>Chorus:<br>Father, daughter<br>Down by the water<br>Shells sink, dreams float<br>Life's good on our boat<br><br>Delaney draws me pictures<br>She finger paints the sand<br>We chase the dogs and hop like frogs<br>Then I do my bad handstands<br>She's growin' up too fast for me<br>And askin' lots of questions<br>Some I know the answers to<br>And some I'm lookin' for suggestions<br><br>Chorus:<br>Father, daughter<br>Born by the water<br>Surf's up, sun's down<br>Life in a beach town<br><br>And some of the things I've seen<br>Maybe she won't have to see<br>But there's a lot I want to pass along<br>That was handed down to me<br><br>Delaney talks to statues<br>As she dances 'round the pool<br>She chases cats through roman ruins<br>And stomps on big toadstools<br>She speaks a language all her own<br>Just a little like her mother<br>And she knows I love her so<br>When I tuck her 'neath the covers<br><br>Chorus:<br>Father, daughter<br>Down by the water<br>Shells sink, dreams float<br>Life's good on our boat<br>Shells sink, dreams float<br>Life's good on our boat
