Black Swampy Water Lyrics by Elf (band)

Trying to Burn the Sun

0

Back in the wood where it's good
And the days are yeah long
Well I saw me a child, she was wild
Like a lady going all wrong
Dark as the night, she was right
For a little conversation
So I pulled her right in and she said
She had some imagination
Black swampy water
That's where I caught her
Black swampy water
Black swampy water
We didn't speak, felt weak
Got tangled up in her hair
So we lay in the grass, what a gas
You can't know that you were there
So then I let it all go, what a show
Was like blowing up a freight train
Then around the world I would go
Like jumping on a jet plane
I'm in black swampy water
That's where I caught her
Black swampy water
Ooh, what I taught her
Back in the wood where it's good
And the days are yeah long
Well I saw me a child, she was wild
Like a lady going all wrong
I'm in black swampy water
Oh no, that's where I caught her
Black swampy water
Ooh, all things that I taught her
Yes I'm in black swampy water
My, my, where I saw her
Black swampy water
What I did when I caught her
