BLOOM

(album: Folk Hero Funk - 2023)

Then the sky was so blue in the middle of June
You were in bloom

Brown skin
My first true lover
She was crowning
The jewels of her mother
Daddy was a gambler
Kept a razor in his pocket
The day he went missing
[?] out the closet

Then the sky was so blue in the middle of June
You were in bloom
I let go of my gun, I walked into your room
You were in bloom baby
And I can't feel no heat now besides us
Everything feels cooler
And ooh, that broke me in two, middle of June
You were in bloom and I was too

Back streets
We parked by the river
In back seats
Smelling like malt liquor
Playing all the classics
Too young to get nostalgic
The day my daddy died
You came and put your arms around me

Then the sky was so blue in the middle of June
You were in bloom
I let go of my gun, I walked into your room
You were in bloom baby
And I can't feel no heat now besides us
Everything feels cooler
And ooh, that broke me in two, middle of June
You were in bloom and I was too

And I can't feel no heat now besides us
Everything feels cooler
And ooh, that broke me in two, middle of June
You were in bloom and I was too
