Unveiling

Dad's an angry driver

Pulls a Jersey Slide

Black fly hits the windshield

Dead on the passenger side

Pull into the funeral home

Climb the hill to unveil the gravestone

Now, I pray for an aunt I never knew I had

And I cry 'cause I learned I never knew my dad

And we all grieve together, different things

While the highway sings

You must be Gabriella

Look how much you grew

Cousin Jacob, enthused like I've heard of you

Introduce me to your wife

Belly full, growing a new life

Now, I pray for a baby sharing in my blood

And I cry, knowing I missed out on all this love

And we all grieve together different things

While the highway sings

Found out Tuesday, that the baby died

Born still to her mother, my cousin's wife

And selfishly, I couldn't wait to hold her

'Cause I don't think I want one when I'm older

And I don't know if I can say her name now

If my ears are worthy of the sweet sound

Of Adeline, Adeline, Adeline

Adeline, Adeline, Adeline

Adeline, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
