Lyrics Isabel's Daughter - The Jayhawks

Isabel's Daughter

Isabel’s daughter, she’ll turn around, 'round, 'round
Walking on water, don’t let her drown, drown, drown
Don’t let her drown, drown, drown
Staring at distorted images
Passing slowly stretching limitless
Blinking, dull, and unremarkable
From the window of her second-hand car
Isabel’s daughter, her turn to dream, dream, dream
Frozen, she falters, what does she believe, 'lieve, 'lieve?
What does she believe, 'lieve, 'lieve?
Early to be broken wide, it seems
Held toward a common reasoning
Full of open-ended mysteries
Built on stark and shaky ground
One sees the mountain from a low plateau
Craves experience, but we won’t let go
Climbs the fences built of graying stone
We lift the barrier, and we watch them run
Isabel’s daughter, she’ll turn around, 'round, 'round
It’s quiet without her, never a sound, sound, sound
She’ll turn around, 'round, 'round
Never a sound, sound, sound
She’ll turn around, 'round, 'round
