Another Year

歌詞

Every year at this time I'd look over at some friend of mine I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies They've been clear for days I think we have survived Another Year Hey Brother The newspaper said you were 38 years old Dead from hypothermia I didn't even know That California got that cold Hey Brother The cops found your body In the Ivy next to the tree Right there on University And I couldn't help thinking It could've been me Every year at this time I'd look over at some friend of mine I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies They've been clear for days I think we have survived Another Year Hey Sister Newspaper said they found your murdered body Beheaded, flaoting in garbage Right there in the Oakland estuary Hey Sister Cops said no one reported you missing No friends or Family Just another homeless woman Found dead on the street And I couldn't help thinking It could of been me Mother, Earth Father, Sky I am the intersectino of you both I am heaven on Earth I am union Hey Mother You always took such good care of me And I can't help thinkin' That I get everything I need Hey Father Sometimes it's so scary Being a kid Living on the street But I get everything I need I get everything I need Every year at this time I'd look over at some friend of mine I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies They've been clear for days I think we have survived Another Year
