Ada - The Greeting Committee

Ada takes a walk in the dark, not a walk in the park

Checks over her shoulder, crosses her heart

It’s hard to be a woman

Even harder to be somebody you’re not

If God had a favorite, I wouldn’t be it

Not much myself, I don’t know who that is

Pray on pennies to wake in my body

I spent it all on habits in hiding

But a dead name don’t ring the same

If you’re calling out, it’s a stranger

Wrap me in your sorrow

Bones you count as borrowed

Promise me tomorrow

You are loved, you are loved

Wrap me in your sorrow

Bones you count as borrowed

Promise m tomorrow

You are loved, you are lovd
