November in a rainstorm, the truest truth I ever The of babies crying in a hospital ward Oh, like a bed of rushes, they love out on the concrete floor Names, and dates, and I really can't remember anymore
We could tell the difference between one year and another Sun like pouring whiskey, like shedding skins of lovers And, I grew up with magic; and wild as bindweed Pushing for the boundary, pushing through the of the concrete
I'm the girl that bought a round-trip cross the And I'm not sure that even I know I'm coming from
tango when I was just fourteen I could hear Astaire and Rogers tap their way the screen Oh, bullied and belittled, the sun set in the concrete I wore my sister's black skirt, all dressed up for
We could hardly the difference between the shouting and the quiet It was the path of resistance to stage my own private riot And the walls tumbled like Babel, down around my came in deliverance rising through the wreckage and the concrete
I'm the that bought a round-trip cross the Rubicon I'm not sure that I know where I'm coming from
For a girl who loves her words, yeah, she her silence more Found a example of what hearts and tongues are for There is truth in your arm's love, is truth in this song There is in the concrete and the nails that our lives are built upon
