ryan adams - don't ask for the water lyrics
[verse 1]
i hate this old place
and what it represents
and i hate who i was
and who i ended up since
but if you learned how to swim
just in case you’d drown
don’t ask her for the water
’cause she’ll swallow you down
[verse 2]
and she’s ten miles of peace
and the hardest of nights
and her belfry’s got arch
but her rooftop’s all right
but down here in the sewer
i’m smelling a rat
don’t ask her for the whiskey
’cause her water’s all that
[verse 3]
and what horses we rode
through what somber fields
with our lovers at war
and the dust on our heels
and the infidels screamed
“it’s all but a lie”
don’t ask her for the water
’cause she’ll teach you to cry
don’t ask her for the water
’cause she’ll teach you to cry
[verse 4]
and her weapon of choice
is a red-patterned dress
and a sack full of stones
with her hands on her chest
and a book full of quotes
and a tight fastened lip
don’t ask her for the water
’cause you’ll sink like a ship
don’t ask her for the water
’cause you’ll sink like a ship
