Daughter Down Lyrics

by Jann Arden

If I had only one, one more day to live
I'd sit in the sun and trace my fingertips around everyone
Every heart that ever lost and found me

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e98811-jann_arden~daughter_down_lyrics.html ]
I'd sleep in the shade
I'd watch my mother make her pink lemonade
While my father gives the garden a spray
And I'd look at how his face had weathered
His life's been tethered

[CHORUS:]
Down, like a stone, like a nailed shut window waiting for a storm
For a hope, for a hand to come and cut the rope away
Oh, will I ever be that brave if I had one more day

I'd eat some ice cream
Lick the bowl a^€˜til it was perfectly clean
Have one last hurrah on the old tire swing
Dip my toes in as I cross the water
Only daughter

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Down like a stone, like a nailed shut window waiting for a storm
For a kiss, for a second chance to feel

Jann Arden Lyrics
