Honeydogs - Mariam lyrics

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 That I'd outfit swore, would open up Every single door, you taught me well I said, "Goodbye, 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, Miriam" Well, on your bed in '93, I held your hand You looked at me, you couldn't speak All that morphine, your last days Spent in dreams, you said a lie I said, "Goodbye"
