lyrics

Vanya you’ve got kindness in spades
Your daughters delight and the hair that you braid
Every long fingernail wearing away

Strawberry trampoline life
Sausage and vinegar every night
Laying your body across great divides

Your shoulders strewn out like a bridge
Many feet only arrive ‘cause you did
On the back burner your own pilgrimage

Since we were young I have sat by the hourglass
Waiting for impulse to touch
Vanya you’re brave, you intrepidly gave
What you had when you didn’t have much
Vanya, I only admire you

Why must the trouble persist?
Holding your head when he shattered his wrist
Oh serotonin can wander and drift

You’ve never been one to complain
Trying to fly a paper kite in a hurricane
Little feet keeping dry out in the rain
But no one would fault you to say you’re in pain

Laudation, ovation oh
It’s coming again, consolation
Animation, elation
It’s coming again

Vanya, I only admire you
