Ingrid Chavez - Remembering Julia
текст песни

I'm remembering Julia
And little girls with 99 lives
She is standing in the road
Sad eyes smiling
She is alone in a blue shirt
By a blue car
The sky is grey, forever grey
Someone has come to visit
A father, a friend says goodbye
Never to be seen again
He drives away, he just drives away.

She's laughing from the trees picking muscadines
She's crying in the pulpit waiting for a sign
She whispers a prayer as she is pushed beneath the water
Promise to be a good soldier
To fight for what's hers

She's the changeling
The wrong cast
The tom boy who could run so fast
She's on her knees, on her back
The stone that couldn't be cracked
Julia is forgetting
But I am remembering
Little girls with 99 lives

They are wounded but healing
Quietly feeling
Their loss of innocence
Her fear is deep rooted
Bred to the bone
An abandoned camp fire
Of ash and stone
I am turning the soil
Of the memories she's buried
Lightening the burden of the shame she has carried
She is sinking into the earth leaving no trace
I slip into her shoes and ties the laces

I'm remembering julia
And little girls with 99 lives
We're chasing dandelions
Making wishes
On four leaf clovers and falling stars

I'm learning to live
And, Julia is learning to forgive
