When I was moving out
I found a picture of you
On the Fourth of July
Too many years ago
It took me by surprise
It took me by the throat
I couldn't throw it away
Made me not want to go
When we were little girls
We laughed at who knows what
Put on our father's clothes
And our mother's jewelry
We camped in our backyards
Naked and never knew
Believed in God and ghosts
Even then knew beauty
I'll find a different time
I'll search through outer space
Will you still recognizе me
With a different facе?
There was a common thread
Whenever things went well
They turned to bad instead
I learned to expect it
When you were twenty-four
You deserved so much more
Than just a little girl
In her mother's pearls
I'll find a different time
I'll search through outer space
Will you still recognize me
With a different face?
Promised before I left
You told me that you would
It might be different, but
It will be just as good
