lyrics

1990s Florida summers
spinning laundry quarters and keys
meeting the laughing sun in the window
the woman’s eyes are as wide as the sea
haircuts on linoleum tile
garbage bags from the church filled with jeans
family of five two bedroom apartment
the woman’s world comes apart at the seams

mothers and sisters teach me to be
as emotionally intelligent as thee

I can still see you stand
muscular and sweet
cracks in your hands
reaching out for me
you were a light
of the strangest color
but so bright in love
more than anyone

Wednesday Sunday nights driving home
a choir of dashboard lights sing her face
the pavement is a mirror a river
the artery we’ve been blood for these days
1990s Florida summers
speaking in tongues while the radio plays

I can still see you stand
muscular and sweet
cracks in your hands
reaching out for me
you were a light
of the strangest color
but so bright in love
more than anyone

mothers and sisters teach me to be
as emotionally intelligent as thee
