For Grammy

lyrics

Saw a picture of my grandmother
When she was only 16 year old
Haunting anger in her eyes
Imperceptible to everybody else
but me...

She was beautiful but she was difficult
that's what they say
that's what they say
beautiful but difficult

I remember hearing that she ran away
to Juarez with a man one day when
She was only 17
Her father brought her back
immediately....

I wonder what you were feeling
and what did you need
in those miles leaving El Paso
did you finally feel free?

In your body did the force of the words
that you could never speak
did they tear you up inside each day
every silent defeat?

She became a music teacher at an
elementary school
years later she would do everything
that she was supposed to do

I wish I could have known you then
because I would tell you that I understand
I wish I could have known you then
So I could tell you that you're not alone.
