Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Does the gravel remember how it scraped my knees?
Does it wish itself a mouth to form apologies?
I hope that all the crawdads in my Wella's creek
Think well of me
[Pre-Chorus]
I was careful to be gentle, treat all them how I'd hope they'd treat me
[Verse 2]
She ripped up a garden with all the memories
How came those tomatoes, the year she was 16
Was she happy, does she know the life she leads?
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope when I'm her age my family comes to visit me
[Chorus]
They say "Wella, Wella"
They say "Wella, Wella"
[Verse 3]
Does the Earth remember her hands sowing the seeds?
Is it grateful to be useful, does it like the company?
I know the dirt remembers her nails so fondly
[Pre-Chorus]
But do her nails remember the seeds?
[Chorus]
They say "Wella, Wella"
