Lyrics
if you wanted to be here
You never made it clear, my love has turned to fear
the river makes all the rules
In this place there is no law, were you were raised by the river
The river makes all the rules, don t know why you left me but now i think i understand
Well you looked like your mama, flamingos flying endlessly, i never saw your tears
in the reeds there are eyes that peek
in the night there s no safe place to stand
You never made it clear, down in the low
Voices i can t understand, i never saw your tears, if you wanted to be here
when i came to look for you
Crazy talking fisherman, flamingos flying endlessly Everglades, let me feel you near
Daughter of the everglades, when i came to look for you
What they are, learned to make that snake tail stew
Daughter of the everglades, so far from the bayou
When i came to look for you, in the reeds there are eyes that peek
Why did you bring me here, if you wanted to be here, down in the low
i should not have brought you here
Daughter of the everglades, crazy talking fisherman, you never made it clear
daughter of the everglades
well you laughed in the city
That you d cry in the city, where the air is dark and sinister
where the air is dark and sinister
Why did you bring me here, before you walked
Flamingos flying endlessly, let me feel you near, in this place there is no law
When i came to look for you, down in the low
Learned to make that snake tail stew, into the silent sky
you never made it clear
In the night there s no safe place to stand, well you looked like your mama
let me feel you near
from your daddy
don t know why you left me but now i think i understand
So far from the bayou, were you were raised by the river
Daughter of the everglades, i never saw your tears, daughter of the everglades
learned to make that snake tail stew
Well you looked like your mama, when i came to look for you
voices i can t understand
What they are, that you d cry in the city The, down in the low
If you wanted to be here, into the silent sky
My love has turned to fear, my love has turned to fear
From your daddy, daughter of the everglades, in the night there s no safe place to stand
daughter of the everglades
were you were raised by the river
i should not have brought you here
Child of the river, what they are, if you wanted to be here
Learned to make that snake tail stew, from your daddy, daughter of the everglades
Voices i can t understand, i never saw your tears
down in the low
daughter of the everglades
Daughter of the everglades, child of the river, down in the low
Into the silent sky, well you looked like your mama
in the reeds there are eyes that peek
