Take a swim in the water
Take a swim in the water
Dear Arkansas daughter

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
Berenang di air
Berenang di air
Putri Arkansas yang terhormat
[Ayat 1]
Anda dengan ikal gelap, Anda dengan mata yang berwarna
Anda yang menanggung semua gigi Anda di setiap senyuman
Bilang aku selalu bisa mendengarmu bernyanyi, aku ingin mendengarmu berbicara denganku
Sementara orang asing mengepang rambut saya kembali di jalan
Dan dalam mimpimu, kami menembak ular
Dan saat Anda tertidur, saya pasti terjaga
[Pra-chorus]
Saya sedang berbicara di sebatang rokok
Tidak ada yang tersisa untuk dikatakan
Tapi dia seharusnya ada di sana
Karena aku tidak menyanyikan satu lagu tunggal, sepanjang hari
[Paduan suara]
Saat cintaku untukmu mati
Saat cintaku untukmu mati
Karena cintaku padamu sedang sekarat
Sekecil dan serius seperti pistol di mata
[Ayat 2]
Hatiku penuh dengan pedang
Penuh, penuh pedang
Cintamu, itu tahu Tuhan
Ikat tangan saya dan saya berlutut
Saat aku berlutut, aku berlutut di laut
Ke dasar laut, saya akan tenggelam
Seperti peti baja yang penuh dengan senjata
Dan di tulang belakang gelombang, Anda akan bangkit
Seperti apel merah, matang, merah, matang
Berenang di air kotor
Putri Arkansas yang terhormat
Berenang di air kotor
Sayang, anak, cinta sejati saya
[Paduan suara]
Saat cintaku untukmu mati
Saat cintaku untukmu mati
Karena cintaku padamu sedang sekarat
Sayang, anak, cinta sejati saya
Sayang, anak, cinta sejati saya
