There's blood in the water
There's blood in the water
The quiet are restless
The silent are still
I'm nobody's daughter
I'm nobody's daughter
My enemies crow
'We're alone with the k**.'
If mercies abound,
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know of the love
I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend
Our season won't end
But I pray when it's done, when it's through,
I'll have something left for you.
The noble are weary
The noble are weary
This cradle still burns
Like a hole in my chest.
Can anyone hear me?
Can anyone hear me?
The crooked are smiling--
They know me the best.
If mercies abound,
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know of the love
I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend
Our season won't end
But I pray when it's done, when it's through,
I'll have something left for you.
If mercies abound,
I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know of the love
I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend
Our season won't end
But I pray when it's done, when it's through,
I'll have something left for you.
