Oh, Ivory girl
Let me have your
Ivory life;
My daughter prayed,
In the dark of the night.
Oh, Ivory girl
Let me have your
Ivory strife;
My daughter wept,
At the spill of light.
Oh, Ivory girl
Let me not be Ivory
But a Shining White;
My daughter sang,
Alone, and out of sight.
Oh, Ivory girl
I wish you’d have let her be
Blindingly She,
And unlike you,
A shade more alive.
