Patty Griffin - Truth #2 Lyrics

Patty Griffin Lyrics

"Truth #2"

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Baby, that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
And find out everyone was lying
But I don't think that I'm afraid anymore
I 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 you 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 lack the proof
Baby, that might be so
Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith
In what you're feeling 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
