Mariam
And so are you
Your husband died in 92
Your family's spread out
You were the glue
Your things divided
Center is falling through
You taught me well
I said goodbye
Miriam
Well that blue coat
And gray wool pants
Those things you bought
I never gave a chance
Hmm, that I'd outfit
Swore, would open up every single door
You taught me well
I said good bye
Miriam
A cross was burned in 23
A black barber's yard
Down your street
But you should be afraid, your father said
That cross was burned for you and me
Stays in my head
You taught me well
I said goodbye
Mariam
Well on your bed in 93
I held your hand
You looked at me
You couldn't speak
All that morhpine
Your last days
Spent in dreams
You said a lie
I said goodbye
