Lyrics for Nikos by Jewel:
| | | Artist: | Jewel |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Nikos | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 95 | | | | Lyrics: | She lived in a trailer out eastern road
Her loneliness was a disease
But my daddy couldn't
see it though
Her name was Linda her smile was forced
And folks 'round town say she
dressed like a divorce
My daddy had a son by her
'though she wasn't supposed to be
able
I was eight years old when they told me 'round the table
I looked at my daddy, he
looked to the ground
I guessed that we'd be stickin' round awhile
Might as well
smile cause there's no point in being mean
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to
dream
Got called to the principal's office
Did I do something wrong?
Doctor on
the telephone said,
"Congratulations, you've got a baby brother born."
Got sent to a
psychiatrist in case I resented their child.
I was bitter in my anguish but my manner was
mild.
My daddy got excommunicated from the Mormon church.
Guess an illegitimate son in
God's eye has no worth
He tried to stick around but he flew the coop in spring.
He loved
that baby just not Linda it seemed
But still I know we'd be stickin' round awhile
Might as
well smile cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what you get when you
forget to dream.
So Linda got remarried now my brother called that new man "dad"
But it
didn't last long I hear his temper was bad
So she said that we could see him on every other
Saturday.
We all were shocked when he called my daddy "uncle"
She said it was better that
way
They tried to get back together but it was off and on
One day she disappeared, I hear
to Oregon.
I haven't seen him since. I guess I'm supposed to forget.
That he was my
brother too and not just their legal mess
I thought that we'd be stickin' 'round
awhile
Might as well smile 'cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what
you get when you forget to dream.
This song is for Nikos wherever you may be
I know
things were tough but you're okay by meAnd your momma ain't a bad person, my daddy's ain't no
fool
Sometimes parents just need forgiving too.
PS, I love you, your sister
