Lucy Kaplansky - The Tide lyrics

There are demons in the water There are devils in the sea There are dangers in the current When the tide goes out of me I could drink you under the table I could drink you out of town I could drink you off the planet Drink myself into the ground Chorus And I have nothing for you tonight I have nothing for you tonight I have nothing for you tonight I have nothing for you I was made to be a good girl Carried buckets made of stone Full of envy, full of sorrow On a tightrope all alone And all the time I was on fire I burned with every stride And now I see this anger Is the horse I choose to ride Now you say you want something nice from me Well if you find it, take it, it's on me In the meantime don't bother me The tide has washed the nice from me Chorus In the nothing are the voices And the pictures of my life In the nothing of the sky Is an ocean made of light In the nothing of my silence Is a sad-eyed little girl On a tightrope she is singing As she pa**es through this world Chorus
