Is something you keep in a locket To remember that girl Who wound your heart tighter than a clock To wake you up for that first morning saying "Hello, Sunshine!" Than fingers flexed Pullin' on hair floss To cut your gums like a switchblade Than ropes of muscle Posin' for the affection of a girl Whose hair you want to place in a locket So as to keep a piece of her Her, locked in a gold-plated box Where her picture and DNA will forever reside Till found by her great-granddaughter In the attic with no light on Where her grandmother used to live Till yesterday And now she's curious about her roots And she climbed up those loosely nailed ladder steps Up the trunk of her grandma's old house That smelled like sycamore leaves Fallen from November rains Like sycamore leaves That fell like grandma But she wants to discover her branches So she's digging through old trunks And costume jewelry Grandma wore when she met grandpa And she was shining like a new quarter Flashin' on the pavement And old hats grandma used to wear To cover her head When even prayers were said To remind her that she still had her hair That grandpa fell in love with that first time And old wigs grandma stopped wearing After grandpa died Cause there was no more point To having beautiful hair When the beautiful man Who called her beautiful Passed on to that beautiful place Where her grandma now resided And all that old stuff was beautiful To the granddaughter Who came across a piece of great-grandma That was mummified Museum-ized By time and forgetfulness Because there are some things That we value so much That we forget about them Like an old locket Hidden in the treehouse of our children's family trees Filled with the split ends of hair He captured from his sweet possession While she brushed her hair eighty times before bed So that it would always be shining And full And flowing for him As though she was his pony Waiting to ride after eighty strokes Cause her woman-ness Was not in her dress But grew from out of her mind And was displayed in private moonlight And wound tight during the daylight Like an old alarm clock Waiting to wake you up on that first morning Screaming, "Hello, Sunshine!"
