Swimming In The Swamp [Correct Lyrics] Lyrics

There was dirt in your mouth

On the day we put you down

There was blood on your teeth

Like you were born to the ground

I held your head

As water filled your mouth

When the branches scratched your eyes

When the land began to flood



This is my body dear that I've kept inside you

And that you'll keep if you want to

Here is what's left of what I have taken from yours

Tonight the bells will cry

This doesn't scare you

It could if you want to

We can run through the yard

We can swim out in the swamp



I cleaned your face

And covered you in stones

There was so much water there

A hundred miles to make your own

A butcher's boy

Can make his song your tomb

The prettiest girls

Should always plan theirs for two



This is my body dear that I've kept inside you

And that you'll keep if you want to

Here is what's left of what I have taken from yours

Tonight the bells will cry

This doesn't scare you

It could if you want to

We can run through the yard

We can swim out in the swamp
