Wella Lyrics

[00:05.08] Does the gravel remember how it scraped my knees?
[00:10.36] Does it wish itself a mouth to form apologies?
[00:15.33] I hope that all the crawdads in my Wella's creek
[00:20.53] Think well of me
[00:23.77]
[00:26.34] I was careful to be gentle, treat them all how I'd hope they'd treat me
[00:35.41]
[00:37.47] She ripped up her garden with all her memories
[00:42.65] Out came those tomatoes, the year she was sixteen
[00:47.69] Was she happy? Is she now, with the life she leads?
[00:56.27]
[00:58.68] I hope when I'm her age my family comes to visit me
[01:08.93] They say, "Wella, Wella"
[01:17.51]
[01:19.56] They say, "Wella, Wella"
[01:28.10]
[01:30.30] Does the Earth remember her hands sowing the seeds?
[01:35.67] Is it grateful to be useful, does it like the company?
[01:41.28] I know the dirt remembers her nails so fondly
[01:51.31] But do her nails remember the seeds?
[02:02.27] They say, "Wella, Wella"
[02:10.58]
[02:12.90] I say, "Wella, remember me"
[02:20.05]
