When they pulled you from the water
You'd been in it for an hour
And you shivered unconscious in the summer heat
And your shirt clung close to your chest
Wrinkled hands and blackened feet
And they took you home, south to Tennessee
It was days before you wakened
Indignantly shaking
And asking for our mother even though
Now you spoke a different language
Born inside your twisted ribcage
And we couldn't understand a single word
Ooh
Ooh
The next night you came to dinner
With your hair arranged in tatters
And you taught us your new words for salt and beef
You asked for something for me to hand to you
But I couldn't understand you
And your crying that night kept me from sleep
When the neurologist examined you
She said maybe in a year or two
Though she said maybe it would be a little less
So our conversations vanished
Because all I spoke was English
And I missed you more than you could ever guess
Ooh
Ooh
I wanted to walk home from school in silence
But you kept saying something unpleasant
And I was mad because I didn't have the right to be rude
And that day you gave Gail flowers
Tasted bitter and sour
Whenever someone comprehended you
But mostly I remember
Mostly I remember
Mostly I remember
In the first snow in December
You pushed me from the top of the hill
And when I fell and you said sorry
And I knew that you said sorry
That's the first I knew what it means to understand
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
