lyrics

golden straw hat
behind silver fence
woman sweeps low
waters sprawling plants
roots so long
they’re wrapped around the house
seeds into trees
21 years in this town
guarded gardens
the rain slowly fills the pail

car packed with clothes
daughter’s escape
mother held her stomach
hours spent awake
framed face
stencil on the stairs
in a perfect world
no one would leave her care
waiting, waning
water boiled over as she stared

haunted house
dolls and memories
buildings walls from phone calls
crossing words steadily
perfect bed
no clothes on the floor
no noisy friend
boyfriend at the door
opportunity is temporary
stalks grow so tall
wind scatters leaves

i know it mades you sad
to watch beginnings end
