From the recording I Got A Story
EULALIA (Yoolaylia)
The first time I saw the sky
I was in my mothers arms
It filled my eyes
With a blanket of blue
Strange faces staring down at me
planting seeds deep in my history
Eulalia
ghost of my grandmother
I held her fingers
with a vice-like newborn grip
Warm breath close to my skin
Voices laughing low
planning my future
in the dusty twilight glow
Every heart I would break
every heart that would break mine
every mortal wound
that would not heal in time
Eulalia
ghost of my grandmother
I held her fingers
with my vice-like newborn grip
Eulalia
ghost of my grandmother
I held her fingers
with my vice-like newborn grip
This fragile life no one talks about
Cracking the ice from my eyes
burning my lungs
walking the streets
in my fathers shoes
singing songs
perched on my mothers tongue
Eulalia
ghost of my grandmother
I held her fingers
with my vice-like newborn grip
Eulalia
ghost of my grandmother
I held her fingers
with my vice-like newborn grip
