lyrics

White Queen Anne’s Lace along the gravel road side
Bumble bee sting and tear-streamed eyes
I must have been about four or five
Took off your button shirt and wrapped it round my little arm
You were bare out in the sun, but I was safe from harm
In the back seat of our yellow car

I remember you
As a boy I knew
That you were good
And you were true

Never drove a car one day in your life
Hard working mother and a faithful wife
Who could make a mean potato salad
I left my toys laying all over your floor
You still waited for me by the front porch door
Each time I came down to your house after school

I remember you
As I boy I knew
That you were good
And you were true

In our kitchen before the school bus came
I saw my dad hang up the telephone slowly
And he told us that you died in surgery
Still, white gravestones along the gravel road side
Beyond, the sunset paints the evening sky in bands of red
Paints the sky in fading bands of red

I remember you
As I boy I knew
That you were good
And you were true

I remember, oh
As a man I know
That your love did flow
Into me, into me, into me

about

Jacob Mau Chicago, Illinois

Jacob Mau spins compelling stories of misfit people and misplaced landscapes oft overlooked by others, and ignored by history. As this year's winner of Chicago's longest-running open mic competition, hosted annually by Uncommon Ground, he is clearly a standout among the city's best singer-songwriters. Good things await this young musician."
