Katy Song, Red House Painters
but there in the clearing, I know you’ll be wearing
your young aching smile and waving your hand.
can’t go with my heart when I can’t feel what’s in it
Does Not Suffice, Joanna Newsom
It does not suffice for you to say I am a sweet girl
Or to say you hate to see me sad because of you
It does not suffice to merely lie beside each other
As those who love each other do
I picture you rising up in the morning
Stretching out on your boundless bed
Beating a clear path to the shower
Scouring yourself red
The tap of hangers swaying in the closet
Unburdened hooks and empty drawers
And everywhere I tried to love you
Is yours again and only yours
Blue Valentines, Tom Waits
She sends me blue valentines all the way from Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary of someone that I used to be
And it feels like a warrant, out for my arrest
Baby you got me checkin’ in my rear view mirror
