Don't ask for the water Lyrics

Artist: Ryan Adams
Album: Heartbreaker

I hate this old place
And what it represents
And I hate who I was
And who I ended up since
But if you learned how to swim in case youâ‚¬â„¢d drowned

Donâ‚¬â„¢t ask her for the water
Cause sheâ‚¬â„¢ll swallow you down

And sheâ‚¬â„¢s ten miles of peace
And the hardest of nights
And her belfryâ‚¬â„¢s got arch
But her rooftops all right
But down here in the sewer
Iâ‚¬â„¢m smelling a rat

Donâ‚¬â„¢t ask her for the Whiskey
Cause her waters all that

And what horses we rode
Through what somber fields
With our lovers at war
And the dust on their heels
And the infidels screamed, â‚¬Å“itâ‚¬â„¢s all but a lieâ‚¬?

Donâ‚¬â„¢t ask her for the water,
Cause sheâ‚¬â„¢ll teach you to cry
Donâ‚¬â„¢t ask her for the water
Cause sheâ‚¬â„¢ll teach you to cry

And her weapon of choice is a red-patterned dress
And a sac full of stones
With her hands on her chest
And a book full of quotes
And a tight fastened lip

Donâ‚¬â„¢t ask her for the water
Cause youâ‚¬â„¢ll sink like a ship
Donâ‚¬â„¢t ask her for the water
Cause youâ‚¬â„¢ll sink like a ship
