Fifteen - Another Year lyrics

rate 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 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
