Lyrics

Dad is painting windowframes
At the top of the house
Mom steadies the ladder
With a slippered foot
My sister cannot bring herself
To pour poison on the ants
Working their way frantically
Up the inside corners of this soon-to-be a home
I run through grass that is grown high above my head
I am a million miles away
I have no memories
I have no memories before this day
Cup of tea for the plumber
Cup of coffee for the builder
Brother sister, father mother
Each in love with one another
Somewhere, a whistling kettle
I meet the world and the world is a stinging nettle
I run through grass that is grown high above my head
I am a million miles away
I have no memories
I have no memories before this day
Mortar bees living in the bricks
There may or may not be a snake in the compost heap
And the neighbor’s cat is white and quite insane
Collarless, aggressive, and unnamed
And I have never seen so many sheep!
I’ve never seen so many cows!
I was a born to a family a little while ago
I was born to myself just now
I run through grass that is grown high above my head
I am a million miles away
I have no memories
I have no memories before this day
Before this day
