Lloyd Cole - Big Snake lyrics

high tide

in the cool of the mist

walking in the shadows of the trade ships

i`ll be your baby

i will not be your man

i will not be around when you call

oh daddy

i`ll be daddy's little girl

black water

the warm summer rain

washes your tears in to the big snake

into the ocean

and your skin is so white under harbour light

should you fall i`ll be your baby

say i`ll be daddy's little girl

oh daddy

I'm all alone now

hush little baby

don't you cry

i will sing you a lullaby

it's high tide

in the still of your room

and the big snake's a crawling

through the smoke and perfume

to be your baby

i will not be your man

i will NOT be around when you fall

i`ll be your baby

i`ll be daddy's little girl

say it be my daddy

i`ll be daddy's little girl

oh daddy

we're all alone now

won't you be my daddy

we're all alone now...
