I'm getting older now But I'm younger than you when you took out the house I'm resting my head where I can Calling the devil and demons to stay Outta my way every night Darkness to me almost looks like a light And I know I'm in high water If I'm my father's daughter And I am There's some things I don't care to see The frame of your mouth when it's lying to me So I'll close my eyes to the sight And picture an angel who fights the good fight Oh wishing that I was someone Giving the lesson to know how to love I know I'm in high water If I'm my father's daughter And I am Who am I to treat you this way? Air out my teeth and bleed you of grace You are mine, and I'm yours just the same Oh and I wouldn't trade it for anything No, I wouldn't trade it for anything I'll say what I'll say and I'll mean it I'll find peace of mind from my pain and you've seen it Cause I am a woman with childish ways Kicking and screaming and waiting for your embrace Chasing me all round the yard You know I'm running to make this hard You know I'm in high water If I'm my father's daughter And I know I'm in high water If I'm my father's daughter And I am I am
