Lyrics Truth #2 - Patty Griffin

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I like the proof
Baby, that might be so

I might get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
But I don't think then I'm afraid anymore
Say that I would rather die trying

Oh, swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips, all the love in my lips

This time when he swung the bat
And I found myself laying flat I wondered
What a way to spend a dime
What a way to use the time, ain't it, baby?

And I looked at my reflection
In the window walking past and I saw a stranger
I'm just so scared all the time
Makes me one more reason why the world is dangerous

Oh, swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips, all the love in my lips

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I like the proof
Baby, that might be so

Tell me what's wrong having a little faith
What you're feelin' in your heart
And why must we be so afraid
And always so far apart

Oh, swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips, all the love in my lips
