Songtext Nikos Jewel

Nikos

She lived in a trailer out eastern road
Her loneliness was a disease
But my daddy couldnt see it though
Her name was linda her smile was forced
And folks round town say she dressed like a divorce
My daddy had a son by her
though she wasnt supposed to be able
I was eight years old when they told me round the table
I looked at my daddy, he looked to the ground

I guessed that wed be stickin round ahwile
Might as well smile cause theres no point in being mean
I guess thats just what you get when you forget to dream

Got called to the principals office
Did I do something wrong?
Doctor on the telephone said,
Congratulations, youve got a baby brother born.
Got sent to a psychiatrist in case I resented their child.
I was bitter in my anguish but my manner was mild.
My daddy got excommunicated from the mormon church.
Guess an illegitimate son in gods eye has no worth
He tried to stick around but he flew the coop in spring.
He loved that baby just not linda it seemed
But still I know wed be stickin round awhile
Might as well smile cause theres no point in bein mean.
I guess thats just what you get when you forget to dream.
So linda got remarried now my brother called that new man dad
But it didnt last long I hear his temper was bad
So she said that we could see him on every other saturday.
We all were shocked when he called my daddy uncle
She said it was better that way.
They tried to get back together but it was off and on
One day she disappeared, I hear to oregon.
I havent seen him since. I guess Im supposed to forget.
That he was my brother too and not just their legal mess

I thought that wed be stickin round awhile
Might as well smile cause theres no point in bein mean.
I guess thats just what you get when you forget to dream.

This song is for nikos wherever you may be
I know things were tough but youre okay by me
And your momma aint a bad person, my daddys aint no fool
Sometimes parents just need forgiving too.
Ps, I love you, your sister jewel.
