Lyrics

High tide
In the cool of the mist
Walk in the shadows of the trade ships
I'll be your baby
I will not be your man
I will not be a rat
When you call
Oh daddy
I'll be daddy's little girl
Black water
The warm summer rain
Washes your tears into the big snake
Into the ocean
And your skin is so white under harbour light
Should you fall
I'll be your baby
I'll be daddy's little girl
Oh daddy
I'm all alone now
Oh daddy
I'm all alone now
Hush little baby
Don't you cry
I'll sing you a lullaby
It's high tide
In the still of your room
And the big snake's crawling through the smoke and perfume
To be your baby
I will not be your man
I will not be a rat
When you fall
I'll be your daddy
I'll be daddy's little girl
Say it
Be my daddy
I'll be daddy's little girl
Oh daddy
We're all alone now
Won't you be my daddy
We're all alone now
Hush little baby
Don't you cry
I'll sing you a lullaby
It's high tide
In the cool of the mist
Walk in the shadows of the trade ships
I'll be your baby
I will not be your man
I will not be a rat
When you fall
I'll be your daddy
I'll be daddy's little girl
