Jenn Alexander - “Eyelashes“ (single)

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “Like every mommy, and every daddy When our baby arrived, we held him and said How could anything be so perfect From the tips of his fingers To the top of his... head Fall turns to winter A trip to the doctor She charts his numbers, runs all the tests Then the mood of the meeting shifts with her posture Your baby’s not growing, in pace with the rest I look at those numbers Then look at my son He doesn’t stand tall, but His Spirit aglow And with hope in my voice, I answer that doctor “There’s something about my son you should know” You see his eyelashes are growin’ and growin’ They’re telling the world to look him straight in the eye And I could swear, the way those lashes are goin’ Someday, they’re gonna reach to the sky Yes someday he and those lashes, will reach to the... sky When he steps off the bus, I can tell he’s been cryin’ The shrug in his shoulders tells the story too well The jabs and teasing of other children Have sent him retreating, into his shell So lifting his chin with the tip of my finger I wipe away tears, before they can flow With love in my voice, I look at my son And say- “There’s something about yourself you should know” You see your eyelashes are growin’ and growin’ They’re telling the world to look you straight in the eye And I could swear, the way those lashes are goin’ Someday, they’re gonna reach to the sky Yes someday you and those lashes, will reach to the... sky Well, life isn’t always fair I’ve discovered Blessings and burdens aren’t predictable things So all we can ask for as mothers and fathers Is that through it all, our babies might sing... My eyelashes are growin’ and growin’ They’re telling the world to look me straight in the eye And I could swear, the way those lashes are goin’ Someday, they’re gonna reach to the sky Yes someday me and my lashes, will reach to the... sky Your eyelashes are growin’ and growin’ They’re telling the world to look you straight in the eye And I could swear, the way those lashes are goin’ Someday, they’re gonna reach to the sky Yes someday you and those lashes, will reach to the... sky from Better Than Fiction (12 Song Album) 2009, released January 1, 2009 Written by Jenn Alexander ©2008 Gone Curly Publishing (ASCAP) Zodlounge Music Productions Piano: Lynn Hutchinson“
