Zinnias

(album: Sling - 2021)

See me standing on the corner of Comstock
And Waverly in a daze
Where I saw my brother speak for the first time since he graduated in the Spring
Got a cold piece of information to bring to you
Said, "Sorry but I can't stay here while we wait for June"
I miss the southern Cosmos and the Zinnias
Oh, the Zinnias
It comes to me in a dream, in the dead heat and the suffocating
Wet grip that's got a hold on my mama
It's Marietta's kiss

Quietly, I'm tempted
Sure sounds nice to settle down for a while
Let the real estate show itself to me
I could wake up with a baby in a sling
Just a couple doors down from Abigail
My sister, man, and her ring

Quietly, I'm tempted
Sure sounds nice to settle down for a while
Let the real estate show itself to me
I could wake up with a baby in a sling
Just a couple doors down from Abigail
My sister, man, and her ring
