Tell me a story

Julia, how did you stray so far
From the way you were at the start
Before you left home
To be on the road
To find a place
To call
Your own

Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
BANG BANG BANG

Cold feet! Cold fingers!
Our genes have fenced off our warmth.
You're fragile, sister,
To all that's around you,
But you're viscious enough to chase me away
Sometimes

Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
BANG BANG BANG

You've always been beautiful to me
For years, I watched you evolve
Your slender, long, gentle hands
Caressed my newly roughened skin
And lead me though parks and neighborhoods
Up to these growing pains

Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
BANG BANG BANG

There was that one day
When I witnessed your fall
And I wiped your snot from your nose
With my own hands
Then I played you that song
And you told me
"Sister, I'm sorry, I've never had to do this before."
