Take a swim in the water
Take a swim in the water
Dear Arkansas daughter
[Verse 1]
You with the dark curls, you with the watercolored eyes
You who bears all your teeth in every smile
Says I can always hear you sing, I wanna hear you speak to me
While a stranger braids my hair back out on the street
And in your dreams we are shooting at snakes
And while you were asleep, I was surely awake
[Pre-Chorus]
I was talking at a cigarette
There's nothing left to say
But he should have been there anyway
For I didn't sing a single song, all day
[Chorus]
As my love for you dies
As my love for you dies
As my love for you is steadily dying
As sharp and serious as a pistol in the eye
[Verse 2]
My heart is full of swords
Full of, full of swords
Your love, it knows the Lord
Tie my hands and I'm on my knees
As I kneel down, I kneel down in the sea
To the ocean floor, I will sink
Like a steel chest full of weapons
And on the spine of the tide, you will rise
Like a red, ripe, red, ripe apple
Take a swim in the dirty water
Dear Arkansas Daughter
Take a swim in the dirty water
Darling, child, true love of mine
[Chorus]
As my love for you dies
As my love for you dies
As my love for you is steadily dying
Darling, child, true love of mine
Darling, child, true love of mine
Plivati u vodi
Plivati u vodi
Draga kći Arkansasa
[Stih 1]
Ti s tamnim kovrčama, vi akvarenim očima
Vi koji nosi sve zube u svakom osmijehu
Kaže da te uvijek čujem kako pjevaš, želim čuti kako razgovaraš sa mnom
Dok mi stranac plete kosu na ulici
I u vašim snovima pucamo na zmije
I dok ste spavali, sigurno sam se budio
[Predhorus]
Razgovarao sam za cigaretom
Nema ništa za reći
Ali ionako je trebao biti tamo
Jer nisam pjevao niti jednu pjesmu, cijeli dan
[Zbor]
Kako moja ljubav prema tedi umire
Kako moja ljubav prema tedi umire
Kao što moja ljubav prema tebi neprestano umire
Oštar i ozbiljan kao pištolj u oku
[Stih 2]
Moje je srce puno mačeva
Pun, puno mačeva
Vaša ljubav, poznaje Gospoda
Veže ruke i ja sam na koljenima
Dok kleknem, kleknem u moru
Do oceanskog dna, potonut ću
Poput čelične škrinje puna oružja
A na kralježnici plime ćete se uzdići
Poput crvene, zrele, crvene, zrele jabuke
Plivati u prljavoj vodi
Draga kći Arkansasa
Plivati u prljavoj vodi
Draga, dijete, istinska ljubav prema mojoj
[Zbor]
Kako moja ljubav prema tedi umire
Kako moja ljubav prema tedi umire
Kao što moja ljubav prema tebi neprestano umire
Draga, dijete, istinska ljubav prema mojoj
Draga, dijete, istinska ljubav prema mojoj
