Healthy Family

from Wreath by The Carmelittles

/

lyrics

healthy family, what do you see?
looking down the pink of your knee
children growing up, everyone's there
can't you see the gold in your hair??

i never did it right
to hug all my home
when it fell into fences
i lost all my senses
and buried my gold in the ground

where the healthy family played in the snow
golden light in the Sunday glow
a father's memories of being a child
a mother's smile, tender and mild
I didn't know it would end so fast
to be young with a distant past
healthy family without a crow
something new one day I'll grow

I see them everywhere
together forever
or so I had thought for myself

I tried to be tough
I wouldn't be the rain
no blood to my feet
with their purpled veins
but as death drew near
my legs were losing their firm
a shaking little boy in me
i fell to my blackened knees
and wailed for you
and my knees turned pink again
