Two
story, big red house
Buried in the Upstate New York snow
Daddy's in the pastor's office
And Mama's downstairs play the piano
Two big brothers and three boy neighbors
What's a little girl to do?
Snakes and worms and red sunburns
And all the things that those boys put me through
And with this tomboy history
Sometimes it's a mystery
That the color pink still looks good to me
Long blonde hair and running shoes
Reflexive smile and a Spanish dictionary
Autumn leaves and summer sunsets
And dreaming of that boy I'd like to marry
Church pews and organ music Long black robe and clear blue water
And as I stepped into the warmth
I knew I'd found the cleansing that He offered
Long white robe and dusty sandals
Broken heart and hands nailed to a tree
He's the reason that I pray
There's so much more when You look at me
Than long blonde hair and running shoes
Reflexive smile and a Spanish dictionary
