Lemonade

It was Cinco de Mayo

Pillow case on his head

No more breathing time

An ambulance sped

It sped round every corner

Calling out his name

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched in the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a desert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside too hot outside

Lazy days when I said just go for a ride

We’ll sail on Spirit Lake,

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

Tim and Tina were my parents’ names

They got engaged they were inflamed

Seduced by the lie of butterflies

How they shimmer, how they glimmer

Those butterflies

We seven kids, we almost died

Nearly put to death

But lightning strike

Instead there was hot pink

Flashes in the sky

We climb the rocks in snowing rain

In search of magic power

To heal our mother’s pain

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched in the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a desert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside too hot outside

Lazy days when you said just go for a ride

We’ll sail on Spirit Lake,

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched in the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a desert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside too hot outside

Lazy days when you said just go for a ride

We’ll sail on Spirit Lake,

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
