lyrics

Ethel

For every pistol and every angry man,
Means one less way we could understand
The lessons she taught,
The fears she stole away
Those fangs which turned to sugar cane
at the mere mention of her name.

Pebbles in the riverbed never seem to mind
the river as it passes by;
But that we could learn this way of sayin’
Goodbye.

She'll flutter by when the sunlight hits my eye;
When decency is on my mind,
Whenever there is graciousness, anytime
She'll be alive,
Breathin’ through me.

Little butterfly passin’ by,
take my love up in the sky
Make of it a star, a beacon light
so she knows we're alright.
I don't know why
and that's just fine;
Cause those fangs still turn to sugar cane
at the mere mention of her name.
