Tracey Thorn - Big Snake lyrics
rate meHigh tide in the cool of the mist<br />
Walking in the shadows of the trade ships<br />
<br />
I'll be your baby, I will not be your man<br />
I will not be around when you call<br />
Oh daddy, I'll be daddy's little girl<br />
<br />
Black water, the warm summer rain<br />
Washes your tears in to the big snake<br />
Into the ocean and your skin is so white under harbour light<br />
<br />
Should you fall I'll be your baby, say I'll be daddy's little girl<br />
Oh daddy, I'm all alone now<br />
<br />
Hush little baby, don't you cry, I will sing you a lullaby<br />
It's high tide in the still of your room and the big snake's a crawling<br />
Through the smoke and perfume<br />
<br />
To be your baby, I will not be your man, I will be around when you fall<br />
I'll be your baby, I'll be daddy's little girl<br />
Say it be my daddy, I'll be daddy's little girl<br />
Oh daddy, we're all alone now<br />
Won't you be my daddy? We're all alone now
