Patty Griffin - Truth lyrics

You don't like the sound of the truth Coming from my mouth You say that I lack the proof Baby, that might be so I might get to the end of my life And find out everyone was lying But I don't think that I'm afraid any more I say that I would rather die trying Oh swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips, all the love in my lips This time when you swung the bat And I found myself laying flat I wondered What a way to spend a dime What a way to use the time, ain't it, baby? And I looked at my reflection In the window walking past and I saw a stranger I'm just so scared all the time Makes me one more reason why the world is dangerous Oh swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips, all the love in my lips You don't like the sound of the truth Coming from my mouth You say that I lack the proof Baby, that might be so Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith In what you're feeling in your heart? And why must we be so afraid And always so far apart? Oh swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips, all the love in my lips
