Daisy On the Roof (D.Dagenais)
There is a wild flower growing in the city
It’s home a tall tower, window box pretty
Does it ever think about the wide open spaces?
Does it ever miss the rest of the earth it embraces?
With its roots- Daisy on the roof - Daisy on the roof
There is a girl who waters it daily
she tends it well and re-pots it yearly
She has never seen the sight of wide open spaces
Her feet have never touched the soil that she places
At its roots- Daisy on the roof
Somewhere down in her blood her soul still remembers
The generations that were born
to surrender to the sand
People of the land – people of the land
Her night is filled with the sounds of traffic
No cricket lullaby, just deadly racket
She needs to dream about a place that is better
Opens a window and climbs up the ladder to her proof - Daisy on the roof
She keeps a scrapbook full of care weathered faces
She knows their names and all the dates
and the places that they died
She keeps them all inside – she keeps them all inside
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018
