bloom

Marc E. Bassy

Then the sky was so blue
In the middle of June
You were in bloom

Brown skin
My first true lover
She was crowned in
The jewels of her mother
Daddy was a gambler
Kept a razor in his pocket
The day he went missin
You know she brought me out the closet

Then the sky was so blue
In the middle of June
You were in bloom
I let go of my gloom
I walked into your room
You were in bloom, baby
And I can t feel no heat now
Besides us, ?verything feels colder
And you had broke m? in two
Middle of June
You were in bloom and I was, too

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh

Back streets
We parked by the river
The backseats
Smellin like malt liquor
Playin all the classics
Too young to get nostalgic
The day my daddy died
You came and put your arms around me

Then the sky was so blue
In the middle of June
You were in bloom
I let go of my gloom
I walked into your room
You were in bloom, baby
And I can t feel no heat now
Besides us, everything feels colder
And you had broke me in two
Middle of June
You were in bloom and I was, too

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh

And I can t feel no heat now
Besides us, everything feels colder
And you had broke me in two
Middle of June
You were in bloom and I was, too
