I'm asking you, Mom
Can you remember
The moment my soul entered yours
Was there a noise
Only we could hear
And did I tell you
About my past life - underwater
Or how excited I am
About being your daughter
The gold from your heart is why my hair is blonde
And the drum Dad's is why I keep keeping on
But I haven't heard his song
In Far too long
I'm asking him to
Bring the winter home
May the sun always shine for her
When she's all alone
Remember to remind her of what
All your love has grown
And may your soul live forever
Floating in the waves
But know my heart and Boston harbor will never be the same.
Two small pebbles with faces like miine
I can only focus on the trees
Their branches turn to butterfly wings
And I can hear the wind daring me to sing
Hold on to the grass, were going for a ride
Don't even think about looking back
It'll cost you your pride
Dont forget to remember
All the things you said
When you were seventeen and summer was coming to an end
If this storm comes past my seawall
You can flood my basement all the same
But I wish that that water was from a well
Who's drop would cure any form of infinite pain
Its been far too long, far too long since I felt the rain
Far too long, since I've seen your face
Far too long since I felt your rain
