Girl Lyrics by Leyla McCalla

Vari-Colored Songs: Tribute to Langston Hughes

0

She lived in sin for happiness
And she died in pain
She danced in sunshine
And laughed in rain
She went one summer morning
Where the flowers spread the plain
She told everybody she'd be coming back again
Folks built her a coffin
And they hid her deep in the Earth
Seems like she said, "My body brings new birth."
She went one summer morning
Where the flowers spread the plain
She told everybody she’d be coming back again
For sure there grew flowers and tall young trees
Sturdy weeds and grasses to sway in the breeze
And sure she lived in growing things with pain
Dance in sunshine and laugh in rain
She went one summer morning
Where the flowers spread the plain
She told everybody she'd be coming back again
She went one summer morning
Where the flowers spread the plain
She told everybody she'd be coming back again
Coming back again
Coming back again
Coming back
Coming back
Coming back again
In the flowers and the trees
Grasses and the weeds
Coming back
Coming back
Coming back again
