(LYRICS)
[Intro]
Take a swim in the water
Take a swim in the water
Dear Arkansas daughter
[Verse 1]
You with the dark curls, you with the watercolored eyes
You who bears all your teeth in every smile
Says I can always hear you sing, I wanna hear you speak to me
While a stranger braids my hair back out on the street
And in your dreams we are shooting at snakes
And while you were asleep, I was surely awake
[Pre-Chorus]
I was talking at a cigarette
There's nothing left to say
But he should have been there anyway
For I didn't sing a single song, all day
[Chorus]
As my love for you dies
As my love for you dies
As my love for you is steadily dying
As sharp and serious as a pistol in the eye
[Verse 2]
My heart is full of swords
Full of, full of swords
Your love, it knows the Lord
Tie my hands and I'm on my knees
As I kneel down, I kneel down in the sea
To the ocean floor, I will sink
Like a steel chest full of weapons
And on the spine of the tide, you will rise
Like a red, ripe, red, ripe apple
Take a swim in the dirty water
Dear Arkansas Daughter
Take a swim in the dirty water
Darling, child, true love of mine
[Chorus]
As my love for you dies
As my love for you dies
As my love for you is steadily dying
Darling, child, true love of mine
Darling, child, true love of mine

“You who bears all your teeth in every smile” is such a good lyric, idk why I just love it

[@meteor_moon]

while the "watercolour eyes" line is awesome, "as sharp and serious as a pistol in the eye" always gives me goosebumps

[@luce1008]

I'm sad of all the people here just favoritising the couplet lyrics but the guitar solo in the end and the last bit of lyrics are actually another whole vibe

[@cornedbread3669]

I know right?!? The way Lady Lamb puts emotion in not just her vocals but even the way she plays the guitar is so impressive. That guitar sounded like someone was actualy crying with its off-key syncopation. Haven't even mentioned the difficulty of having to swap tempos that fast, or even composing a song that has that combination of tempos to begin with. Arkansas Daughter is soooo good, but it needs recognition for its other qualities 🙏

[@novo4101]

Here after seeing a bunch of reels with this song. My eyes are a grey-ish green-ish color and my crush's hair ir a really dark brown, so needless to say I immediately wanted to listen to it as a soundtrack to more of my delusions, but it hit me so hard because it made me remember how it really is all a fantasy in my head. He's been a "friend" for 4 years now and probably sees me as nothing more but keeps sending me mixed signals that I'm too scared to follow because I don't want to be heartbroken again and possibly ruin any sort of friendship we have. Life sucks man

[@thesunlightpearl8263]

I understand your pain, really I do and I’m sorry you have to go through this. Love and feelings are really difficult to cope with sometimes. I promise you, things may hurt now but whether it’s him or someone else, rest assured that you will end up with a wonderful human who will bring so much joy into your life. I wish you all the best 🤍

“You have curly brown hair and a big bright smile,” they say
“But your eyes are brown,” they continue
“Have you never seen a pond?” I counter. Watercolor doesn't mean blue it means transparent. No matter what color you move the water and you can see through it, my eyes are windows dark green-brown windows.

Facts

[@francescapatti2934]

Imagine THIS in peak Destiel era?!
(SORRy for the tumblr brainrot you're abt to witness)
- you with the dark curls you with the watercolor eyes??
- you who bears your teeth in every smile (Dean coded fr)
- "I can always hear you sing. I wanna hear you speak to me" (HELLO?! the praying?? IK the destiel girlies would have been all over this!)
- while you were asleep I was surely awake (self explenatory "watching over you"vibes)
- I was talking at a cigarette with nothing left to say! (DEAN WINCHESTER WOULD THINK THIS change my mind)Should have been there anyway (!!! Im SORRY?! "I was there...where were you?"-coded)
- My heart is full of love. Full of, full of words (absolutely a Dean edit type line)
- YOUR LOVE, IT KNOWS THE LORD (need I say more)
- tie my hands ...and I kneel down (the religious kneeling imagery...) (also we all know this would apply literally too, like we know Dean😂)
- As my love for you dies (like idk its giving hopelessness, its giving "I love you but I can never have you so I let the love die" its a Dean line again)
Im so sorry for subjecting you to this in the year of our Lord 2023, dear reader, but it wouldnt leave me alone.
Im not a Destiel girly (I mean I do ship it but I was never like INVESTED) but I tried my best😂
I long for the return of November 5th 2020 tbh that shit was so CHAOTIC 😂
