High tide In the cool of the mist Walking in the shadows of the trade ships Ill be your baby I will not be your man I will not be around when you call Oh daddy Ill be daddys little girl Black water The warm summer rain Washes your tears into the big snake Into the ocean And your skin is so white under harbour light Should you fall Ill be your baby Say Ill be daddys little girl Oh daddy Im all alone now Hush little baby Dont you cry I will sing you a lullaby Its high tide In the still of your room And the big snakes crawling Through the smoke and perfume To be your baby I will not be your man I will not be around when you fall Ill be your daddy Ill be daddys little girl Say it be my daddy Ill be daddys little girl Oh daddy Were all alone now
