Oh dear June

You grew up too soon

Painted on a brave face

You doubled up your pace

Headed out into a small world

Makin' money like a big girl

A mouth to feed and some pills to take

What you don’t love you can always fake

You watched your mama she did just the same

While your daddy he was just a name

You heard her curse it as the darkness grew

It chewed her up and then it came for you

Are you sleeping June

Under a crescent moon?

When the night is cold

Do memories unfold?

A quilted blanket that your grandma made

In your arms a little baby lay

Or the summer when you turned fifteen

The way he told you that you were his queen

When things got heavy you turned out the light

You turned around and you took to the night

You did the thing you know you should not do

You turned to stone and now they're stoning you
