Kim Ware and the Good Graces - Palisade Peaches

“Palisade peaches get ripe on both sides!”
You said it with so much conviction
And I thought of my Daddy, how I miss him all the time
Set up in my chair, and I listened

I’m so far from Carolina
Still I feel like I’m home
I never thought a peach from Colorado
Could make me feel less alone

Where the mountain meets the river, along the west side
My head and my heart busted open
And I thought of my Granny, so patient, so kind
She taught me to never lose hope

I’m so far from Carolina
Still I feel like I’m home
I never thought a peach from Colorado
Could make me feel less alone

And truth is not a mountain lion waiting in the wings
No, it’s a harmless, pretty cardinal begging me to sing

I’m so far from Carolina
Still I feel like I’m home
I never thought a peach from Colorado
Could make me feel less alone
But I finally feel less alone

“Palisade peaches get ripe on both sides!”
You said it with so much conviction
Thank God I finally listened
