You Could Have Been A Roosevelt

You Could Have Been A Roosevelt

(album: Queens Of The Summer Hotel - 2021)

Out into the world
With all the confidence and grace
That luck instills
Each and every girl
With dresses pressed
And faces fresh as daffodils

This could be us
But those were not the cards
That we were dealt
You're doomed to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt

Out into the world
You're sailing into life upon a glassy sea
Flags and sails unfurled
What must it be to be so young and whole and free

This could be us
But we're the graves
At which our fathers knelt
You're doomed to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt

And we're glad
We can see in them versions of the
Life that we almost had

Out into the world
Where certain things will always be beyond
Our scope
Just to be a girl
With Jean Nate and Pink Camay and
Yardley Soap

This could be us
But there was just a trust we never felt
It's hard to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt
It's hard to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt
