lyrics

I drank four unknowing months of rust water (rust water)
I knocked on the block of every virgin daughter (and found your daughter)
saw a mark on a slab of wood
saw her bangs through the slit in her hood
she refused to be anything
less than girl mentor

Girl mentor, now have I searched high and low for you?
I’m with my crew,
you’ve de-romanticized the hill life, here comes the strife
Empty bottles cracked over my head at dawn, no more a fawn
Transformation to a woman I no longer recognize

Girl mentor, now have I searched the sea and the breeze for you?
Here’s what you do: make me feel worthy of the world’s attention
And did I mention, you wake up and read in the light of the morning
here I am mourning, you leave me with myself my thoughts girl mentor

Girl mentor, now have I walked track and trail for you?
Pink smoldering sunrise, in your neighborhood, it’s your town
Pink smoldering sunset, I move around, I move around
I chew on Valerian root
‘cause I had too much coffee after noon
I am shaky and thinking of you,
Girl mentor,

Girl mentor, I’ll carry buckets of water to you
and when we’re through, we’ll know ourselves, our friends, what else is true
here’s what you do make me feel worthy of the world’s attention
And did I mention, you wake up and read in the light of the morning
here I am mourning, you leave me with myself my thoughts girl mentor
