Star Red

And I found you
I found you in the absence
I went back home to Alice

I remembered that moment
A worrisome fragment
When I read you the Bible
Because you were simply unable

Star Red

Then I found you
I found you in the excess
I haven’t been home to Alice

I remember the moments
No, never the ailments
The beer on the Bible
I’m still wicked
And I don’t mind the revels

Star Red

And I twirled around the room
I walked around the room
With tears in my eyes
With tears in my eyes
Oh, grandmother
The world outside

Not the one who’d borne me
But the one who loved me
The one who brought light
And was beaming with pride
