lyrics

“For Gretchen”

On to something new, you hoped you’d go
You hoped
When my sisters both breath down your throat
You know
You’d go

A memory that can’t help but shine like gold
Like old
And a man could never take his place
But you
Have found
A face

Ma, I know how hard it seems
Ma, I know how hard you dream
Ma, I know
Ma, I know

The sense that you haven’t earned the right to smile
For a while
Take up the cross you bear that you have toiled
For miles
It’s time to throw all wood, that’s just wood
To the pile
To the fire
To the fire

Ma, you know how hard it seems
Ma, you know how hard I dream
Ma, you know
Ma, you know

Ma, I know how hard it seems
Ma, I know how hard you dream

Ma, you know how hard it seems
Ma, you know how hard I dream
Ma, you know
Ma, you know
