The Price from Flower Country by Cassie Josephine and Gabriel Minnikin

THE PRICE
Cassie Josephine

I was young and went to school and fell in love and lost it all.
I got a job that paid the bills and had a child and she grew up.
I learned a lot about life and love. How can you not?

I bought a car and drove right across Canada.
I met the best friend I ever had in Winona.
We tried to forget about life and love. How can you not?

And it’s all just a jumble now.
I want you to take me out.
Remember my blue dress
And those shoes, they made this sound?

I don’t think you need to be so quiet
around this
old heart.
Heart.

My nanna told me she fell in love not once, but twice.
She said loss was finding your own good advice.
She said that growin’ old was the price.

She remembers what my dress reminds her of.
She said turn the music up
And take these slippers off.

I don’t think you need to be so quiet
around this
old heart.
