Your house is gone 

And so are you

Your husband died in 92

Your family's spread out

You were the glue

Your things divided 

Center is falling through

You taught me well

I said goodbye

Miriam





Well that blue coat 

And gray wool pants 

Those things you bought

I never gave a chance 

Hmm, that I'd outfit 

Swore, would open up every single door

You taught me well 

I said good bye 

Miriam





A cross was burned in 23

A black barber's yard

Down your street 

But you should be afraid, your father said

That cross was burned for you and me

Stays in my head

You taught me well

I said goodbye

Mariam





Well on your bed in 93

I held your hand

You looked at me

You couldn't speak

All that morhpine

Your last days 

Spent in dreams

You said a lie

I said goodbye
