Big Snake Lyrics by Lloyd Cole

Big Snake Lyrics

    High tide
    In the cool of the mist
    Walking in the shadows of the trade ships
    I`ll be your baby
    I will not be your man
    I will not be around when you call
    Oh daddy
    I`ll be daddy's little girl
    Black water
    The warm summer rain
    Washes your tears in to the big snake
    Into the ocean
    And your skin is so white under harbour light
    Should you fall i`ll be your baby
    Say i`ll be daddy's little girl
    Oh daddy
    I'm all alone now
    Hush little baby
    Don't you cry
    I will sing you a lullaby
    It's high tide
    In the still of your room
    And the big snake's a crawling
    Through the smoke and perfume
    To be your baby
    I will not be your man
    I will be around when you fall
    I`ll be your baby
    I`ll be daddy's little girl
    Say it be my daddy
    I`ll be daddy's little girl
    Oh daddy
    We're all alone now
    Won't you be my daddy
    We're all alone now...
