Delaney Talks to Statues

[Verse 1]

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 that I cannot discover

But she knows I love her so when I tuck her 'neath the covers

[Chorus 1]

Father, daughter

Down by the water

Shells sink, dreams float

Life's good on our boat

Delaney draws me pictures, she finger-paints the sand

We chase the dogs and hop like frogs, then I do my bad handstands

She's growin' up too fast for me and askin' lots of questions

Some I know the answers to, and some I'm lookin' for suggestions

[Chorus 2]

Father, daughter

Born by the water

Surf's up, sun's down

Life in a beach town

[Bridge]

And some of the things I've seen

Maybe she won't have to see

But there's a lot I want to pass along

That was handed down to me

[Verse 3]

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 1]

Father, daughter

Down by the water

Shells sink, dreams float

Life's good on our boat

[Refrain]

Shells sink, dreams float

Life's good on our boat
