Lyrics

They named me Hester Clarene Vickers
But they called me something else
Feels like forever that I've lived here
With your pictures on shelf
With a ring on a string
Around my neck
It's from my sweet one
He just laid down to rest
When I was 28, went on a blind date
As a favor to a friend
Man in a thunderbird, shirt sleeves rolled under
Your grandfather, you know the rest
Now I wear a ring on a string
Like all my old friends did
I think it was thought up
By one of their kids
Did I tell you that my daughter made me
This strawberry cake
And that there are some lessons you have to
Just learn by mistake
So I wear a ring on a string
Just in case
Everything I touch these days,
I seem to misplace
I lost a brother, a son and husband
To different kinds of wars
But let's talk of other things,
Like the sun bursting
Through the clouds after a storm
And my granddaughter
Painted these bluebirds
A paint by number for my shelf
They named me Hester Clarene Vickers
But they call me something else
