Mrs C

For Eliza

Mother told me to bring some flowers

But I was running late

Didn't wanna rush it, bought suttin' safe

Shit, left it on the train in the fucking rain

Strange, I'd do it all the same just to come again

The pain, I know your girl's being strong for you

Telling me the world ain't long for you

I'm tryna make her laugh any way I can

Press her head in to my hands but I'm feeling quite responsible

So I'ma keep her safe don't you worry 'bout it

Keep that smile on her face 'til the summer clouded

And this ain't nothing to replace all the love that's shrouded

But I can see it on your face you'd be fucking proud

And everybody else is too

'Cause your Eliza's a reflection of you

So when you're rested in the setting to soothe

Remember every single blessing is true

Trust

And so I'm saying everybody else is too

'Cause little Harvey's a reflection of you

I'm saying everything you say rings true

Even Alex a reflection of you

And I can see it in the way you move

That my Eliza's a reflection of you

I'm saying everybody else is too

'Cause everybody else is too

No-one makes a better bagel, some'll come close

But the way you make the bacon is the bun toast

Is something special, couldn't sum it up in one quote

So these first four lines devoted to that one dose

Everybody else is too

'Cause little Harvey's a reflection of you

I'm saying everything you say rings true

Even Alex a reflection of you

And I can see it in the way you move

That my Eliza's a reflection of you

I'm saying everybody else is too

'Cause everybody else is too

Everybody else is too

'Cause little Harvey's a reflection of you

I'm saying everything you say rings true

Even Alex a reflection of you

And I can see it in the way you move

That my Eliza's a reflection of you

I'm saying everybody else is too

'Cause everybody else is too
