letra de the mezuzah (mezuzah charm) - jill sobule
i’ve traveled to cities you’ve never seen
far from the town where i was a teen
to budapest and west odense
a million miles from new providence
thirty years later, my childhood’s gone
the blue-and-white house half-acre lawn
so why do i dwell on the elm tree in back
the mezuzah in front and the books in the stack?
there was nothing to do and the neighbors were mean
i sat in my room and tried not to scream
we fought and we squabbled every third day
and i longed for the time when i’d go far away
i never look back and i try to forget
so why do i think of this house with regret?
why do i dwell on the elm tree in back
the mezuzah in front and the books in the stack?
now i walk to work under a mackerel sky
the tears start to slide, i can’t fathom why
it’s been nine years since you’re in a grave
i keep on living and i even forgave
how you died in front of me that day
the clocks keeps ticking as you slide away
and time stood still for a full year
while i pretend you were near
mom, you died in front of me that day
four paramedics, they couldn’t say
that you would live to comfort me
or one day know who i would be
i never look back and i try to forget
so why do i think of the house with regret?
why do i dwell on the elm tree in back
the mezuzah in front and the books in the stack?
i never look back and i try to forget
so why do i think of the house with regret?
why do i dwell on the elm tree in back
the mezuzah in front and the books in the stack?
