Elle 121,278 Posted April 28, 2021 There’s a picture on the wall Of me on a John Deere Jenny handed me a beer Said, “How the hell did you get there?” Oklahoma There were flowers that were dry Sitting on the dresser She asked me where they’re from I said, “A place I don’t remember” Oklahoma Jenny jumped into the pool She was swimming with Nikki Lane She said, “most men don't want a woman with a legacy, it's our bane” She said, “You can’t be a muse and be happy too You can’t blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy” & That scared me ‘Cause I met a man who Said he’d come back every May Just to help me if I paint my banisters blue Blue banisters, ooh Said he’d fix my weathervane Give me children Take away my pain And paint my banisters blue My banisters blue There’s a whole that’s in my heart All my women try and heal They’re doing a good job convincing me that it’s not real It’s heat lightning, ooh ‘Cause there’s a man that’s in my past There’s a man that’s still right here He’s real enough to touch in my darkest nights He’s shining, ooh Jenny was smoking by the pool We were writing with Nikki Lane I said, “I’m scared of the Santa Clarita fires I wish that it would rain” I said, “The power of us three, Could bring absolutely anything Except that one thing: The diamonds, the rust, and the rain The thing that washes away the pain” But that’s okay ‘cause Now when weather turns to May All my sisters come to paint my banisters green My blue banisters grey Tex & Mex are in the bay Chuckie’s making birthday cake Chicken’s running bare feet There’s a baby on the way & Now my blue banisters are green & grey Summer comes, winter goes Spring I skip, God knows Summer comes, winter goes Spring I sleep, heaven knows Every time it turns to May All my sisters fly to me to paint Paint 24 Quote • 4.18.14 • 5.1.14 • 9.20.14 • 5.28.15 • 6.14.15 • 7.28.16 • 7.24.17 • 10.23.17 • 10.24.17 • 1.25.18 • 2.5.18 • 12.5.18 • 10.3.19 • 10.11.19 • 11.16.19 • SF • ATL • ATL • IND • ATL • CHI • LDN • NYC • NYC • DC • ATL • NYC • PDX • SAN • KS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
