Don't Ask For The Water Lyrics - Heartbreaker [deluxe Version] - Ryan Adams

I hate this old place 

And what it represents 

And I hate who I was 

And who I ended up since 

But if you learned how to swim 

Just in case you'd drown 

Don't ask her for the water 

Cause she'll swallow you down 

And she's ten miles of peace 

And the hardest of nights 

And her belfry's got an arch 

But her rooftop's all right 

But down here in the sewer 

I'm smelling a rat 

Don't ask her for the whiskey 

Cause her water's all that

And what horses we rode 

Through what somber fields 

With our lovers at war 

And the dust on their heels 

And the infidels screamed 

It's all but a lie 

Don't ask her for the water 

Cause she'll teach you to cry 

Don't ask her for the water 

Cause she'll teach you to cry 

Photos 

And her weapon of choice 

Is a red patterned dress 

And a sack full of stones 

With her hands on her chest 

And a book full of quotes 

And a tight fastened lip 

Don't ask her for the water 

Cause you'll sink like a ship 

Don't ask her for the water 

Cause you'll sink like a ship
