[Verse 1]
See me standin' on the corner of Comstock and Waverly in a daze
Where I saw my brother speak for the first time since
He graduated in the spring
Got a cold piece of information to bring to you
Said, "Sorry, but I can't stay here while we wait for June"
I miss the southern Cosmos and the Zinnias, oh, the Zinnias

[Pre-Chorus]
It comes to me in a dream
In the dead heat and the suffocating wet grip
That's got a hold on my mama, it's Marietta's kiss

[Chorus]
Quietly, I'm tempted
Sure sounds nice to settle down for a while
Let the real estate show itself to me
I could wake up with a baby in a sling
Just a couple doors down from Abigail
My sister, man and her ring

[Chorus]
Quietly, I'm tempted
Sure sounds nice to settle down for a while
Let the real estate show itself to me
I could wake up with a baby in a sling
Just a couple doors down from Abigail
My sister, man and her ring
