Loma Prieta

from 11 Songs by Liz Pappademas

lyrics

Loma Prieta, dark hill
Shook up the San Andreas
to the heart of a little girl
I was the epicenter
There in the door holding onto my mother
"No, it's not,
no, it's not OK,"
I told her

We saw a movie that day
On a field trip to the mint
that survived the quake
In 1906 when the city burned black
Those images came rushing
Like the fires
They came rushing back
It was hot
It was hot
Too hot for October

We set up the kitchen with candles
My brother and I knew that school would be canceled
We slept on my parents' room floor
We knew about aftershocks
We braced for more
We felt a lot
We felt a lot
Older

Loma Prieta, dark hill
Please stay dark, I prayed
Please stay still
I was the epicenter
I was the epicenter
I'm not the epicenter
