Zinnias

See me standing on the corner of Comstock

And Waverly in a daze

Where I saw my brother speak for the first time

Since he graduated in the Spring

Got a cold piece of information to bring to you

Said, sorry but I can't stay here while we wait for June

I miss the southern Cosmos and the Zinnias

Oh, the Zinnias

It comes to me in a dream, in the dead heat and the suffocating

Wet grip that's got a hold on my mama

It's Marietta's kiss

Quietly, I'm tempted

Sure sounds nice to settle down for a while

Let the real estate show itself to me

I could wake up with a baby in a sling

Just a couple doors down from Abigail

My sister, man, and her ring

Quietly, I'm tempted

Sure sounds nice to settle down for a while

Let the real estate show itself to me

I could wake up with a baby in a sling

Just a couple doors down from Abigail

My sister, man, and her ring
