[Verse 1] Boots sink down in the black-green water June bugs buzz in a broken halo Air so thick it’s a heavy blanket Can’t tell the path from the shadow [Chorus] In the swamp My heart gets heavy Heavy In the swamp Every step feels slow and mean In the swamp I’ve been tangled up and ready For a hand To pull me from this murky dream [Verse 2] Old cypress grin with the moss all hanging Crooked teeth in a crooked smile Your name floats up on the fog at daybreak Then fades like it never was mine [Chorus] In the swamp My heart gets heavy Heavy In the swamp Every step feels slow and mean In the swamp I’ve been tangled up and ready For a hand To pull me from this murky dream [Bridge] Fireflies flicker like busted promises (oh) Gators wait where the blind spots are If I sink right here In this still black water Will you hear my voice From wherever you are? [Chorus] In the swamp My heart gets heavy Heavy In the swamp Every step feels slow and mean In the swamp I’ve been tangled up and ready For a hand To pull me from this murky dream
