Grammy's Babies - Cam O'Bi

When the Sun is low and twilight rolls through

Weepin' willows, widow’s singin' the blues

He’ll visit you as a falling star

When the twilight’s gone and midnight rolls through

Grandma singin', dipper winkin' at you

Don’t you forget ‘bout those fallen stars

That’s what we got told

Before we got old

When his wings broke

She didn’t eat til he got home with the stars

Traveling beyond the Milky Way

That’s what we got told

Before we got old

‘Til her wings broke

Not gonna wait til she’s not home with the stars

I’d steal the Moon if you fly away

I’d steal the moon if you fly

Too far away, you know I

Can’t see the road without ya

Blackness around my torchlight

Bridgestone beneath the moonlight

Swingin' back and forth like

Your old chair when the wood be squeakin'

Your hood was leakin' Caddy juice on the front of the porch like

Four hunnid spokes, we goin' way back

Like dandruff underneath my wave cap

Like cabbage babies on a raised patch of daisies

Call me crazy

Cause I swear I hear your voice calling out my name every time I hear the wind

blow

So I’m paying attention

Left you a Diet Coke out on the ledge of my window

You was a quiet bloke

I’m reminded as I take a giant toke off of my Cabrini Green

Indirectly pointed me in a direction where a nigga could find a better me

With my mind in the constellations

See your face in my imagination

Interstellar dreams

When the Sun is low and twilight rolls through

Tire swingin', Willow singin' the blues

Under the canopy of the stars

When the twilight’s gone and midnight rolls through

Sparrow singin', Grandma winkin' at you

Never forget ‘bout those fallen stars

Yo' grammy called, you left the phone rangin'

You ain’t got no torch, boy I’m gon' flame ya

Empty bars in your hand, wearin' a long face

Lift up your chin and point your nose at the sky

When you see Lil' Ursa, know where you’re facin'

The right of your shoulder’s where the Sun raises

That Light of the Desert right in your face

Will show you who you are

If ever you’re lost, stand among the stars

That’s what we got told

Before we got old

When his wings broke

She didn’t eat til he got home with the stars

Sing me a song from the Milky Way

That’s what we got told

Before we got old

Til her wings broke

Not gonna wait til she’s not home with the stars

I’d steal the Moon if you fly away

When the Sun is low and twilight rolls through…
