indigo girls - salty south (live) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
mister, pull up a chair, i got time for tears
tell me all the stories that you never did
of the salty south, well the seminoles held out
while geronimo died in a lonely jail

[chorus]
a thousand tides and a thousand waves
takin’ it all away
it’ll come back in, we’ll be gone by then
oh, and it’s a miracle we ever learned to live
[verse 2]
drain that land for a better plan—
the sugarcane and the civil man
but now they’re ringin’ dead them pines planted in that time
they gonna keep on k!llin’ ’til they get it right

[chorus]
a thousand tides and a thousand waves
takin’ it all away
it’ll come back in, we’ll be gone by then
oh, and it’s a miracle we ever learned to live (yeah)

[verse 3]
i remember the wind as it was settlin’—
and every sun goin’ down was a picture then
but we look back in frames, they all look the same—
there’s no sense of time, no sense of pain

[chorus]
a thousand tides and a thousand waves
takin’ it all away
it’ll come back in, we’ll be gone by then
oh, it’s a miracle we ever learned to give (yeah)

[outro]
common rotation.
