Flowers in your Hair

from After the Fire, Before the End by Postcards

/

lyrics

I saw you there / with your black boyish hair / you were told it would save on water in the war / but it was to avoid the stares of curious boys / you didn’t have a choice / it was better than having your tongue turn to ashes

Five little girls / born and raised on holy words / surrounded by those who could not see / they played hide and seek / while it rained metal on concrete / where could they hide?

Five little girls / seldom seen and rarely heard / walk out into the world / where could they hide?

I saw you there / with flowers in your hair / and your tongue had turned to ashes
