Yasmyn Switzer - Oakland
Fresh tiger lilies on the counter
From the market on the water
Where the pasta man smokes bubbles
And you get your drinks from Don
Ride a boat across the bay
And maybe pass the Golden Gate
Up to the wharf and surf on trolleys
And he sings one of his songs
★ Chorus 1 ★
Cry to me mama
I beg you to take us home
I won’t forget the colors of Oakland’s setting sun
Cry to me mama
Don’t cry to him anymore
He only sucked away the love you had
Can we run out the door
Can we run out the door
★ Verse 2 ★
Brokеn glass and food on the ceiling
Blood stains, your scars aren’t hеaling
I follow all your judgements
And you say he’s pretty cool
All the nights I wake to violence
Seem to make me long for silence
I’ll put up a fight for you
Can you bring me to school
★ Chorus 2 ★
Cry to me mama
I beg you to take us home
They won’t think that you failed
Or you hurt anyone
Cry to me mama
Don’t cry to him anymore
He didn’t deserve us
Can we just be done
Can we just be done
★ Bridge ★
Hotel California
Your dream won’t last forever
Your special drink ran dry
It’s bittersweet to say goodbye
My friends in the hills write letters to send me off
Maybe now I’ll sleep, sleep through the night
The monster’s gone, we’ll be alright
The monster’s gone, we’ll be alright
★ Chorus 3 ★
Cry to me mama
It hurts you to take us home
I won’t forget the colors of Oakland’s setting sun
Cry to me mama
He won’t make you cry anymore
He only sucked away the love you had
Don’t go back through that door
Don’t go back through that door
