jane siberry – geranium lyrics
[verse 1]
i don’t remember a box
i don’t remember a bow
i do remember a gunnel
ribs
thump of paddle
i do remember women’s voices
and being carried across the water
shoreline
white pine
ravens
wilderness
[chorus]
i don’t remember where i was
when i first was lifted up
i don’t remember where i was
when i first held the cup
i only know that you were there
i looked into your eyes
and there i saw a world so–
[verse 2]
i don’t remember a bow
i do remember a box
the box much smaller than you
when you were born
your father stumbling once
carrying your box across the lawn
i do remember the minister’s shoes
and a lawn+mower nearby
a drop of dew
geraniums
and the crumpled kleenex
in my mother’s hand beside
[chorus]
i don’t remember where i was
when i first was lifted up
i don’t remember who i was
when i first held the cup
i only know that you were there
i looked into your eyes
and there i saw a world
so beautiful
so full of love
and hardship, too
i held my breath
and with the breath of god
i came rushing through
