Delaney Talks To Statues Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Delana 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 

Life's good on our boat

Delana 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: 

Father, daughter 

Born by the water 

Surf's up, sun's down 

Life in a beach town 

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

Delana 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 

Life's good on our boat 

Shells sink, dreams float 

Life's good on our boat
