lyrics

i played along--
my shoulders three feet high
black under my eyes.

the game was long--
sunset on the field
followed by a silent meal.

four sisters sulking pink and red,
but i was doing it for them.

i had a good heart.
i had a good heart.

i married young.
she was a planned surprise-
white veil trailing behind.
(collecting dust, collecting dirt, collecting dust, collecting dirt)

the drive was long--
sunset on the dotted line
followed by a silent meal
in middle america,
hoping the night wouldn't find us
in middle america.

i had a good heart.
i had a good heart.
it was too polite to talk.
i never did know what it wanted.

now it's changing,
palpitating in a morse code.
telling me what it's owed.
speaking up too late.
telling me what it's owed.
speaking up too late.

I love this album because of the generosity of all who participated in making it-- using art to give legal aid to the children the US has separated from their families. Their action makes each song on the album a quiet anthem to the right of a child to sleep safely through the night. Jayme Adelson Goldstein
