lyrics

We don’t have to speak, little honey, if it’s what you want to do. Didn’t want to be the one you’d try to keep. Didn’t want to be the one you’d want to lose. I can feel the night is getting later, I can see the daylight creeping in. I didn’t want to be the one that you left with. I didn’t want to see you go with him, and watch you go. I can feel the darkness in the way you walk across a room. I can feel the lightness in the way that you hold your breath. As I’m stumbling home drunk up Seventeenth Avenue, as I watch you walk away, as I watch you leave this wreck. So won’t you leave me in the same damn mess that you found me in? When I would put my records on, and you would dance around me then, and the whole damn world felt innocent and young. I’ve been losing for a long time, and I held myself together with my records and my tapes. But you and I, if we’re together and we hold out for better weather, we can hold out until we find our better days. But now it’s just way too late where you’re hiding out from the bitter cold. I can call you up in the morning light before the factory smoke gets my lungs so full. I’m sick and I’m tired and I’m dying just to get home. Where we can hold ourselves together, with only records and our tapes. Because you and I, if we’re together, darling, we can find our better days.

Micah is one of my favorite songwriters around, and also an all around gentleman and scholar. Both his solo work and his work with Two Cow Garage seem to work their way into my regular music rotation with ease. doug shaw
