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
