Babushka Kateryna

Soooooonya spins in the hallway Sock feet, hair like a hurricane Solomiya steals my headphones Dancing on the window frame

Babushka stirring the saucepan Telling tales in every steam Kateryna hums in the corner Sewing up another dream

Sooooonya, Solomiya Babushka, Kateryna (hey!) Four small names in a tiny kitchen Feel like a whole arena (oh yeah) Sooooonya, Solomiya Laugh lines, marigold fingers Say them slow, say them softer Let that little chorus linger

Sooooonya colors the table Crayons over unpaid bills Solomiya feeds the stray cat Half a toast and daffodils

Babushka counts out the teacups One for every soul that came Kateryna pins up the sunlight On the curtain, like a frame

Sooooonya, Solomiya Babushka, Kateryna (hey!) Four small names in a tiny kitchen Feel like a whole arena Sooooonya, Solomiya Laugh lines, marigold fingers Say them slow, say them softer Let that little chorus linger
