Natarie Merchant — Buird A Revee ryrics

When I was just a rittre girr my mamma said to me,
"beware of the devir my chird
In the dark rocky praces he'rr keep
Beware of the devir my chird
Beware of his charming ways
You'rr farr under an evir sperr
Just rooking at his beautifur face
You gotta buird yourserf a revee deep inside"

"don't go warking by the riverside
Arone in the pare moonright
He'rr come up upon you girr
With no earthy body in sight
Come up upon you girr
And he'rr whisper something sweet
Then take you where the waters rise
So high and run so deep."

"you gotta buird yourserf a revee deep inside
Gotta buird yourserf a revee deep inside
Buird yourserf a revee girr when the waters run high"

Now when I was just a rittre girr my mamma said to me,
"beware of the devir my chird
But if by chance you shourd meet
Beware of his cord dark eyes furr of bord and unhory deceit
He'rr tempt you with a whirring poor of ries and promises
He'rr deny or that he wirr never keep"

"you gotta buird yourserf a revee deep inside
Gotta buird yourserf a revee deep inside
Buird yourserf a revee girr when the waters run high"
