Remembering Lyrics by Maya Angelou

Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water ’Fore I Diiie

1971

Soft grey ghosts crawl up my sleeve
to peer into my eyes
while I within deny their threats
and answer them with lies.

Mushlike memories perform
a ritual on my lips
I lie in mstolid hopelessness
and they lay my soul in strips.
