lyle lovett - bayou song lyrics
when i was a child, we lived a mile from the bayou
my parents hard working the dry august ground
the kids ‘cross the road said, “we’re going to the bayou
where there’s water that moves without making a sound”
there’s a spirit covers a bayou, a surface, quiet and calm
slow, dark, vertigo water, swallow me, feed me, float me to a land
the mansion arose above the brown of the prairie
white, wooden, and silent ‘tween the bayou and me
a hot dusty wind moves through motionless porches
an empty swing creaks at the touch of the breeze
slow, dark, vertigo water, swallow me, feed me, float me to a land
the rowboat afloat like a log in the noonlight
turtles were breathing, a snake jerked and swam
alone on the banks following coon tracks
to the edge of a sandbar and the sh+ll of a clam
