Your house is gone

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
