Mrs C

It's for Eliza

Mother told me to bring some flowers, but I was running late
Didn't wanna rush it, bought suttin' safe
Shit, left it on the train in the fucking rain
Strange, I'd do it all the same just to come again
The pain, I know your girl's being strong for you
Telling me the world ain't long for you
I'm tryna make her laugh any way I can
Press her head in to my hands but I'm feeling quite responsible
So I'ma keep her safe don't you worry 'bout it
Keep that smile on her face 'til the sun ain't clouded
This ain't nothing to replace all the love that's shrouded
But I can see it on your face you'd be fucking proud
And everybody else is too
'Cause your Eliza's a reflection of you
So when you're resting in the setting to soothe remember every single blessing is true

And so I'm saying everybody else is, too
'Cause little Harvey's a reflection of you
I'm saying everything you say rings true
Even Alex a reflection of you
And I can see it in the way you move
That my Eliza's a reflection of you
I'm saying everybody else is, too
'Cause everybody else is, too

No-one makes a better bagel, some have come close
But the way you make the bacon is the bun toast
There's something special, couldn't sum it up in one quote
So these first four lines devoted to that one dose

Everybody else is, too
'Cause little Harvey's a reflection of you
I'm saying everything you say rings true
Even Alex a reflection of you
And I can see it in the way you move
That my Eliza's a reflection of you
I'm saying everybody else is, too
'Cause everybody else is, too

Everybody else is, too
'Cause little Harvey's a reflection of you
I'm saying everything you say rings true
Even Alex a reflection of you
And I can see it in the way you move
That my Eliza's a reflection of you
I'm saying everybody else is, too
'Cause everybody else is, too
