Latino Perrico, Apollotheyouth - Peeled Orange Lyrics

Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
At least that's how i remember it
Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
I never get used to it
Grandfather died in a spiritual troop
Defending a spiritual truth
Just like my mama did
Rest in peace
My father misunderstood
Why i wrote family only to the
Door to my room
In family crib
Keep off my zone
Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
At least that is how i remember it
I can't lie
I will get by
Just give it time
She never really spoke English
But we said a lot with our eyes and smiles
She took her time loving me
Maybe it was because she knew about the finality of things
But she didn't rush her love for me
And her room always had that strawberry smell
I think about everytime I get a whiff of it
She loved me even when the dementia hit
She began to recognise me less
But she remembered me in certain moments
And I still hold those moments dear to my heart
I miss her prayers and tales
I know she's somewhere divine
And I hope it smells like strawberries
I can swear she showed me
Love that i never felt
I can swear she showed me
Love that i never felt

Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
At least that's how i remember it
Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
I never get used to it
Grandfather died in a spiritual troop
Defending a spiritual truth
Just like my mama did
Rest in peace
My father misunderstood
Why i wrote family only to the
Door to my room
In family crib
Keep off my zone
Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
Peeled orange in harmattan
That's how my mama memory
Smelling in grandma house
At least that is how i remember it
I can't lie
I will get by
Just give it time
She never really spoke English
But we said a lot with our eyes and smiles
She took her time loving me
Maybe it was because she knew about the finality of things
But she didn't rush her love for me
And her room always had that strawberry smell
I think about everytime I get a whiff of it
She loved me even when the dementia hit
She began to recognise me less
But she remembered me in certain moments
And I still hold those moments dear to my heart
I miss her prayers and tales
I know she's somewhere divine
And I hope it smells like strawberries
I can swear she showed me
Love that i never felt
I can swear she showed me
Love that i never felt
