lyrics

lyrics by Morgan Rose Stewart

We left our hearts in the parking lot
And there they last thumped
With undone ribbons
Brillant as rubies
The ones we've forged since are better
They thrum in our chests like metal birds
Clanking and Singing

Oh, here comes the summer
And I'll watch purple crepe myrtles
Churn like snow when it thunders
Just what I expect
Not what I expect to see

And though I've been wrong unable
To assemble my shape with white pebble
Or storied gravel
Or find concrete that cracks the way you smile
I go long, I step bad next to you
For a while

We tromp for miles in the Delta heat
We trust our feet they will not stop won't miss a beat
We walk far, we walk far
Past the old schools and parked cars
We'll never go inside!
We'll never go inside!

You broke through those lots of rocks like a weed
And tugged me along, sprout tugged from the seed
Spent dreams sent down the gutter stream
Baby on a bed of reeds
And starless brown skies clear up to blue
And the crows do circle around your roof
There is a bridge, bus stop, a train for you

Oh, here comes the summer
And I'll watch purple crepe myrtles
Churn like snow when it thunders
Just what I expect
Not what I expect to see

You broke through those lots of rocks like a weed
And tugged me along, sprout tugged from the seed
Spent dreams sent down the gutter stream
Baby on a bed of reeds
And starless brown skies clear up to blue
And the crows do circle around your roof
There is a bridge, bus stop, a train for you

- Morgan Rose Stewart
