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
Uzmi plivajte u vodi
Uzmi plivajte u vodi
Draga Arkansas kćer
[VERSE 1]
Vi sa tamnim kovrčem, vi sa akvarelim očima
Ti ko nosi sve svoje zube u svakom osmijehu
Kaže da me uvijek mogu čuti kako pjevaš, želim čuti kako pričaš sa mnom
Dok se stranac pletelo kosu na ulici
I u vašim snovima pucamo na zmije
I dok ste spavali, bio sam sigurno budan
[Pre-hor]
Razgovarao sam u cigaretu
Ne preostaje ništa za reći
Ali on je ionako trebao biti tamo
Jer nisam otpevao jednu pjesmu, cijeli dan
[Chorus]
Kako moja ljubav prema tebi umire
Kako moja ljubav prema tebi umire
Kako moja ljubav prema vama neprestano umire
Kao oštro i ozbiljan kao pištolj u oku
[VERSE 2]
Moje srce je puno mačeva
Pun, punih mačeva
Tvoja ljubav, zna gospodara
Vežite ruke i ja sam na koljenima
Dok kleknem, kleknem u more
Do okeanskog dna ću potonuti
Kao čelična škrinja puna oružja
I na kičmi plime, ustaćete
Poput crvene, zrele, crvene, zrele jabuke
Spustite se u prljavu vodu
Draga Arkansas kćer
Spustite se u prljavu vodu
Darling, Dijete, prava ljubav prema mojoj
[Chorus]
Kako moja ljubav prema tebi umire
Kako moja ljubav prema tebi umire
Kako moja ljubav prema vama neprestano umire
Darling, Dijete, prava ljubav prema mojoj
Darling, Dijete, prava ljubav prema mojoj
