Talk To Him In Shallow Water
Franz Nicolay
앨범 : To Us, The Beautiful!
"The flood takes him, sun takes him Fish talk to him in shallow water (talk to him in shallow water) Talk to him in shallow water He said, I’ll take my pay in blood Four hind quarters is a bottom dollar (I’ll take my pay in blood) I’ll take my pay in blood Rest here and walk no farther Came here from across the border Canada to California He said, I’ll take my pound of flesh Leave by morning, north by west Take from you and spare the rest Leave by morning, north by west CHORUS Nor sir, do I confess To shiver shaking like one possessed I fear not the touch of death Just please allow me this request For sir, I do confess My home is in the wilderness A waterfall is in my breast A beast living in a barren nest CHORUS So follow me into the flood Dip your hands in the whirling water Send word home by bird or courier That never more you’ll be a soldier Lay down your knife and holster Down here in the riverbank clover Lay down beside this boulder Down here by the curling water Lay down as night gets colder Never more to be a soldier …Just a little bit lower Never more be a soldier. …Just a little bit lower. CHORUS"
