Everardo, This is Jennifer
For Jennifer Harbury

Everardo, this is Jennifer
Can you hear me at all?
I’ve been searching for you
Ever since your fall
The visions just tell me
That you are cold
But what does it mean? Must I give up my dream
That we’ll both grow old?

My face just wants to crumble
As I’ve crumbled inside
But I must keep it together
If I’m to keep you alive

Everardo
They’ve been feeding me lies
About what they knew and whether you
Were captured alive
Santiago saw you
Beaten, tortured, tied to a bed
And now I alternate between
The hope and fear you’re dead

My face just wants to crumble
As I’ve crumbled inside
But I must keep it together
If I’m to keep you alive

Everardo, I now know
Some of the truth
I took my hunger for you
And turned it into proof
I may never get to balm your body
With my tears
But I’ll have you and hold you and love you and fight for you
Til no one else’s husband disappears

My face just wants to crumble
As I’ve crumbled inside
Now all I have are memories of you
So I’ll keep them alive

Ever since the mountain where our love first was planted
I want you to know I never took you for granted
Ever since that night we danced and your lips enchanted
I never took your life for granted

Everardo, this is Jennifer
