Delaney talks to statues

By: jimmy buffett, amy lee, mac mcanally

1994

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:

Father, daughter

Down by the water

Shells sink, dreams float

Lifes 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

Shes growin up too fast for me

And askin lots of questions

Some I know the answers to

And some Im lookin for suggestions



Chorus:

Father, daughter

Born by the water

Surfs up, suns down

Life in a beach town



And some of the things Ive seen

Maybe she wont have to see

But theres a lot I want to pass along

That was handed down to me



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:

Father, daughter

Down by the water

Shells sink, dreams float

Lifes good on our boat

Shells sink, dreams float

Lifes good on our boat
