Blue October
Sweet and Somber Pigeon Wings
The sweet and somber pigeon wings
Can't we all recall when MaMa and PaPa
Were the sweet tooth Christmas Ball?
A picturesque holiday family
Of course I was small and all I knew was my Grandpa
But I really didn't know him at all, I say
My blood, my cousins, my cavalry
Yeah, a piece of them gone, but still I feel them strong
When I reach for David 'cause our Grandpa's gone
I shout out, I got love for the family
My Mother's a doll and my Father can stop any brawl
Pucker up, I'd like to kiss you all, I say
But open your eyes, a new song 'cause the family's wrong
So don't lecture me, but as far as I can see
The stepmom, yeah, the widow's palm is what's crushing me
And this family beyond my time
Yeah, it's beyond my time
