She Floated Away Lyrics - Husker Du

With grandmother's face and her father's brown eyes 

Her own force of will to her mother's surprise 

Whole look about her that says that she may 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

She floated away, as she floated away 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

She don't give a damn what the other girls say 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

Let me talk to you, mother, she tried to confess 

Go ahead, honey, and wear the white dress 

Don't let traditions go stand in your way 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

She floated away, as she floated away 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

She don't give a damn what the other girls say 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

Well, a man has two reasons for things that he does 

The first one is pride and the second one is love 

All understandings must come by this way 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

She floated away, as she floated away 

She lifted her arms and she floated away 

She don't give a damn what the other girls say 

She lifted her arms and she floated away
