Kathleen Edwards - Alicia Ross lyrics

I am a girl with a forgettable face No matter my colour, no matter my name At work there is a boy and he treats me well My old friends from high school, I see them around And August is here, I can't believe how fast Soon there will be winter and snow on the ground Maybe by then I could get my own place Closer to the city if that's okay But Mamma, can you feel me? As I dragged on my day's last cigarette He pulled me so hard Off my very own back door steps And he laid me in his garden All the years I've watched him tend And he took me, Mamma So I could never tell you about it Inside of this moment there are things that I wish I could know Like your ring size and my ring size and the hour I was born And my dad's middle name and your favorite song Was your darkest day as dark as this one? Mamma, can you feel me? As I dragged on my day's last cigarette He pulled me so hard Off my very own back door steps And he laid me in his garden All the years I've watched him tend And then he took me, Mamma So I could never tell you about it Now I'm a girl whose face they'll never forget
