Alicia Ross Well I am the girl with the forgettable face No matter my color, no matter my name At work there's a boy and he treats me well And my old friends from high school Well, I'll see them around And August is here I can't believe how fast And soon there will be winter and snow on the ground And maybe by then I can get my own place Closer to the city if that is ok But Mamma, can you feel me? As I dragged on my day's last cigarette Well, he pulled me so hard off my very own backdoor steps And he laid me in his garden All the years I've watched him tend And he laid me and he took me, Mamma So I could never tell you about it And in this moment there are some things that I wish I could know Like my ringsize, and your ringsize, and the hour I was born And my dad's middle name, and your favorite song Was your darkest day as dark as this one? But Mamma, can you feel me? As I dragged on my day's last cigarette Well, he took me just so hard off my very own backdoor steps And he laid me in his garden All the years I've watched him tend And he took me, oh, Mamma So I could never tell you about it Now I'm the girl who's face that they'll never forget Lyrics are interpreted from the 2005-11-21 performance				Written by Kathleen Edwards BMI NR - Comment "I had just gotten off tour and the story of this missing woman [Ross, a 25-year-old who was brutally murdered by her next door neighbor] was all over the news. I really felt for her mother, knowing that with each passing day, it's less likely her daughter is alive." All royalties from the song will be donated to Project Canoe, a charity for at-risk youth founded by Ross' parents. [rounder.com] Availability Asking For Flowers
