Swimming in the Swamp
There was dirt in your mouthOn the day we put you downThere was blood on your teethLike you were born to the groundI held your headAs water filled your mouthWhen the branches scratched your eyesWhen the land began to floodThis is my body dear that I've kept inside youAnd that you'll keep if you want toHere is what's left of what I have taken from yoursTonight the bells will cryThis doesn't scare youIt could if you want toWe can run through the yardWe can swim out in the swampI cleaned your faceAnd covered you in stonesThere was so much water thereA hundred miles to make your ownA butcher's boyCan make his song your tombThe prettiest girlsShould always plan theirs for twoLetras de cancionesThis is my body dear that I've kept inside youAnd that you'll keep if you want toHere is what's left of what I have taken from yoursTonight the bells will cryThis doesn't scare youIt could if you want toWe can run through the yardWe can swim out in the swamp
