Tracey Thorn - Big Snake lyrics

rate me

High 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
