Honeydogs Mariam Lyrics

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"
