Your mother's voice was bleeding through the ceiling |
|
As we rolled around along the kitchen floor |
|
We could see your father in the backyard kneeling |
|
Funny your mother doens't kneel much anymore |
|
But I pushed myself right through you for the first time |
|
And I told you that |
|
I'd never be untrue |
|
And I held you like |
|
I never had before |
|
Sister found the pills now for the first time |
|
We all loved her more by her hospital bed |
|
Father had a seat upon the right side |
|
As Mother loved her dearly from her left |
|
Then her heart had burst into a sea of softness |
|
And it swallowed up the whole world all at once |
|
We were closer than we'd ever been before |
|
We were younger than we'd ever been before |
|
Somehow safer than we'd ever been before |
