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
