Jewel - Nikos Lyrics
She lived in a trailer out eastern roadHer loneliness was a diseaseBut my daddy couldnt see it thoughHer name was linda her smile was forcedAnd folks round town say she dressed like a divorceMy daddy had a son by herthough she wasnt supposed to be ableI was eight years old when they told me round the tableI looked at my daddy, he looked to the groundI guessed that wed be stickin round ahwileMight as well smile cause theres no point in being meanI guess thats just what you get when you forget to dreamGot called to the principals officeDid I do something wrong?Doctor on the telephone said,Congratulations, youve got a baby brother born.Got sent to a psychiatrist in case I resented their child.I was bitter in my anguish but my manner was mild.My daddy got excommunicated from the mormon church.Guess an illegitimate son in gods eye has no worthHe tried to stick around but he flew the coop in spring.He loved that baby just not linda it seemedBut still I know wed be stickin round awhileMight as well smile cause theres no point in bein mean.I guess thats just what you get when you forget to dream.So linda got remarried now my brother called that new man dadBut it didnt last long I hear his temper was badSo she said that we could see him on every other saturday.We all were shocked when he called my daddy uncleShe said it was better that way.They tried to get back together but it was off and onOne day she disappeared, I hear to oregon.I havent seen him since. I guess Im supposed to forget.That he was my brother too and not just their legal messI thought that wed be stickin round awhileMight as well smile cause theres no point in bein mean.I guess thats just what you get when you forget to dream.This song is for nikos wherever you may beI know things were tough but youre okay by meAnd your momma aint a bad person, my daddys aint no foolSometimes parents just need forgiving too.Ps, I love you, your sister jewel.Ps, I love you, your sister jewel.
