Song Title: Delaney Talks to statues
Album Title: Fruitcakes
Verse 1
A E B E
Delaney talks to statues
A B E
As she dances 'round the pool
A E B E
She chases cats through roman ruins
A B E
And stomps on big toadstools
A E B E
She speaks a language all her own
A E B E
That I cannot discover
A E B E
But she knows I love her so
A E B E
When I tuck her 'neath the covers
CHORUS
A E B E
Father, daughter
A E B E
Down by the water
A E B E
Shells sink, dreams float
A E B E
Life's good on our boat
Verse 2 (same as 1)
Delaney draws me pictures
She finger paints the sand
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs
Then I do my bad handstand
She's growing up too fast for me
And asking lots of questions
Some I know the answers to
And some I'm looking for suggestions
CHORUS 2 (same as 1)
Father, daughter
Born by the water
Surf's up, sun's down
Life in a beach town
BRIDGE
C#m G#m
And some of the things I've seen
Bm A
Maybe she won't have to see
C#m G#m
But there's a lot I want to pass along
D A
That was handed down to me
Verse 3 (same)
Delaney talks to statues
As she dances 'round the pool
She chases cats through Roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools
She speaks a language all her own
Just a little like her mother
And she knows I love her so
When I tuck her 'neath the covers
Chorus 3 (same)
Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life's good on our boat
