Zinnias

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
