Big Snake - Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

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 daddys 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 daddys little girl

Oh daddy

Im all alone now

Hush little baby

Dont you cry

I will sing you a lullaby

Its high tide

In the still of your room

And the big snakes 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 daddys little girl

Say it be my daddy

I`ll be daddys little girl

Oh daddy

Were all alone now

Wont you be my daddy

Were all alone now…
