Lyrics Big Snake - Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

Big Snake

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…
