Amy Ray - Oyster And Pearl lyrics

I’m just a southern gar no spar left to be had Drifting on a current in the rain in a river bed I been so long in this world What I got left is all I need now They feel you in the till until the till runs dry There’s a waterdance going on and I wanna be there tonight I want to Skip to My Lou to the dub step sound Country kids gather round You want me to be the oyster that has the pearl Oyster and pearl, oyster and pearl But there ain’t nothing like that in this girl Baby all I need is a creek at dusk and dawn Oh them muddy waters is where I want to be found Oh won’t you build a fire with the sappy pine Burn this vessel, scatter me around I wanna feel the rushes in my hair I wanna see the Blackberries in the sun I wanna hear the owl singing at night I wanna know my Sweet Lord by and by I’m just a southern gar no spar left to be had Drifting on a current in the rain in a river bed Yeah I been so long in this world All I got left is all I need now. You want me to be the oyster that has the pearl Oyster and pearl, oyster and pearl But there ain’t nothing like that in this girl Yeah there ain’t nothing like that in this girl
