Solid and Strong - Kimya Dawson

Mama, it is raining leaves

It’s snowing leaves

They’re falling down

I love the way she says that and

I love this part of town

I love being surrounded by so many kinds of trees

October on the West side reminds me to fall back East

'cept I don’t feel like falling for

The feeling that I’ve gotta fall

I feel like standing tall

And getting all of my ducks in a row

I’m sure some times I’ll waver

But I’ll savour good intentions

I know, that progress not perfection is the only way to go

If I wanna grow

Gotta prune my soul

Shed dead leaves

'til I am wet and naked

Cold and rainy

So, there’s room for those

Things that wanna grow

That are beautiful, and amazing

The days that seem

The most dreary

Are perfect for being creative and cosy

As long as we sing

Until the Spring

This Winter can be

A most magical thing

And our trunks will be

Solid and strong

Even after

The leaves are all gone

Our trunks will be

Solid and strong

Even after

The leaves are all gone

Mama, it is raining leaves

It’s snowing leaves

They’re falling down

I love the way she says that and

I love this part of town

Mama, it is raining leaves

It’s snowing leaves

They’re falling down

I love the way she says that and

I love this part of town…
