Wait for Me

from There from Here by Ana MeiLi

lyrics

Wait for me
wait for me
wait for me
wait for me

They came and stole the roof off of my father's house
and I buried my face in the ashes
we made charcoal masks to hide our faces
painted ourselves black
and waited

Hope travels from mouth to mouth
we packed our things up, sealed our lips, and mailed our bodies out
waited for my baby, almost born on the boat
I swore I'd tell him when he'd grown:

Take these seeds, don't ever let them see the light of day
til you're far far away from here
and listen as I whisper in your ear
the soft and silent stories of the tangled tendrils of the morning glories

Wait for me
