Eliza Grace - Zach Gill

in a hammock hanging in between

avocado and persimmon trees

we’ll stare into the canopy

and dream of what’s to come

well i can’t wait for you to grow

i’m gonna show you everything i know

which isn’t much, but even so

we’re gonna have ourselves some fun

eliza, eliza

mama calls you ellie

pretty and it’s sweet

like your dolphin feet

blue jays bathing in a bath

across the bridge by the ice plant

lizards bathe in a sunny patch

and dream of what’s to come

evening bats go flicker flap

snap up mosquitos, moths and gnats

in the fennel stalks a hungry cat

a dream of what’s to come

eliza, life is made out of love

and the mystery of it all

is written on your shining face
