Cordelia was the third born child She came unexpectedly Apple of her father’s eye Cast out at 23 Cordelia always speaks her mind Truth trips into speech I asked her to show me line by line She said it’s something she can’t teach Cordelia Won’t you take me down to the water’s edge And show me what you mean? My tongue is dense with dirt now I need you to wash it clean Take me down to the water’s edge And show me my way home I know I don’t belong here But I don’t think that I can go Cordelia’s words could start a war Cause steel-bellied ships to sink Me I am weary and battle sore And too afraid of what they’ll think Cordelia Won’t you take me down to the water’s edge And show me what you mean? My tongue is dense with dirt now I need you to wash it clean Take me down to the water’s edge And show me my way home I know I don’t belong here But I don’t think that I can go Cordelia Won’t you take me down to the water’s edge And show me what you mean? My tongue is dense with dirt now I need you to wash it clean Take me down to the water’s edge And show me my way home I know they do me wrong here I know they do me wrong I know they do me wrong here I know they do me wrong I know they do me wrong here But I don’t think I can say no
