Lyrics

This is for my little girl, Momo

She ain’t the kinda kid to give a damn
‘Bout makin’ nice by shakin’ hands
Don’t take her long to know a takin’ man
The kid won’t take no red balloon
She’s lived a million lives and knows that fire’s hot
Don’t need to be kid’splained it’ll pop
Ain’t naïve won’t bend no knee
Got no reason to please your needs
She ain’t about to agree…

She said…
Nothin’ at all
She just stood there
Waitin’ for the call…
‘Course it never came
So she left him hangin’… to go high low rollin’ along

As April’s spring sprung to May
May it turn to June
As I remember meetin’ you
Cups bubblin’ over a campfire sun
Love roastin’ slow to a golden brown
Well done until we’re lyin’ down
Under one marshmallow moon
Grahamcracker craters in a chocolate sky
Now there ain’t much more I can do
Keep her alive and watch her fly
Is all that I’ve got left to give
A kid who’s timeless goin’ on ten
Stays in perfect grace
Holdin’ golden space…
At heaven’s gates

She says…
I love you all
With that kinda good stare
That breaks through walls
That says we are the same
That leaves me naked… to go high low rollin’ along
