INDIGO GIRLS lyrics : "Salty South"

Mister pull up a chair
I got time for tears
Tell me all the stories

that you never did
Of the salty south
The Seminoles held out

While Geronimo died in a lonely jail

A thousand tides, and

A thousand waves
Takin' it all away


It'll come back in
We'll be gone by then
And it's a miracle we

ever learned to live

Drain that land

For a better plan
Sugarcane and the civil man
But now the ringin' dead them pines

Planted in that time
We gonna keep on killin'
till they get it right


A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves

Takin' it all away

It'll come back in

We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we
ever learned to live


I remember the wind
As it was settlin'

And every sun goin' down
was a picture then
But we look back at 'em framed

They all look the same
there's no sense of time,
no sense of pain


A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves

Takin' it all away

And it'll come back in

We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we
ever learned to give
