lyrics

I know you can’t do this right now, but
I’ve been reading your horoscope still, my love.
Your moon is in Aries in the 5th house,
I should warn you that that means trouble for us
I could’ve told you the last time I saw you,
When we stayed up talking on the night of the show
But you laughed when I read you that poem
You can hide all you want, but I know that you know

If love was kind
It would’ve taken me out back behind the barn
In the morning
When you grabbed me and I said I had to go

Let’s get down like we used to
Before we got hot and moved away.
We’re not done.
All the songs that I wrote for you back then
Feel so far away now, and you only liked the sad ones.
Now I’m trying out chords for your new song
I can tell that I’ve found it by the way your eyes shine
As you sing of surrender to a new love
You’re reading along, so you can’t see mine

But love is patient
As time is fed,
It bears all things
Believes all things
Hopes all things
Endures all things
Misses all things
Denies all things
Regrets all things

Took a while but I know what I know now,
You and I, we have never felt the same.
All your friends want to know what I’ve been up to, and
All my friends still shudder when they hear your name.
When you ask me to send you this song
Down the line when you’ve hurt somebody new
I’ll respond from wherever I’m staying
Hurting somebody else in the name of you.

about

Niamh Brooklyn, New York

I was raised next to the water;
Where it ran from, I never could tell.

I feel the wind upon my shoulder;
It seems to think that I will be well.
