Carmen from True Names by Project Blackbird

Carmen, seated in a denim dress
raises her glass to the one behind the camera
in her eyes there is tenderness
she always was the one to offer you protection

a single mother down on Filbert Street
she had the spirit of a Premier League defender:
“it’s only morning and you’re still to live your day” –
you hear her voice as it carries over Leicester

these are her chords
they are the bittersweet fruit
this is her groove
now let the song take care of you

Carmen’s waiting in the afternoon light
and when she smiles at you it kills you from the inside
you know that when she tells you “it will be alright”
her body’s broken but she’s ready to fly

these are her chords
they are the bittersweet fruit
this is her groove
now let the song take care of you

these are your chords
they are the bittersweet fruit
this is your groove
now let the song take care of you

these are her chords…
