Once when our mother called
She had a voice of last year's cough
We passed around the phone
Sharing a word about Oregon
When my turn came, I was ashamed
When my turn came, I was ashamed
Once when moved away
She came to Romulus for a day
Her Chevrolet broke down
We prayed it'd never be fixed or be found
We touched her hair, we touched her hair
We touched her hair, we touched her hair
When she had her last child
Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild
She moved away, quite far
Our grandpa bought us a new VCR
We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it
We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it
We saw her once last fall
Our grandpa died in a hospital gown
She didn't seem to care
She smoked in her room and colored her hair
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

I relate to this song so deeply that sometimes when I listen, it feels like Sufjan is telling my story rather than his. I want to type out every single detail but honestly, the lyrics perfectly describe my relationship with my mother and my process of realising that she was never as great as I believed. Whenever I feel myself becoming closer with my mum again, I listen to this song. It serves as my reminder as to who she really is.

I'm a grandpa raising grandkids, I hope their Mom gets it together...this song makes me cry, it is deep like you can't know.
