lyrics

She was standing by the stairs,
With last night tangled in her hair,
And someone else's tears
Trapped in her eyes.

When I asked her how she was,
She gave the quilt she wore a shrug,
And glanced out her cracked window
Toward the sky.

And Sarah said, "It sounds a little strange,
But there's a big blue sky,
And today I feel it's weight."

She said, "Most of us are just songbirds on display,
And with healthy wings,
You feel more of the cage."

The place was still a mess,
So I poured us what was left,
Then i brought it out
And placed it in her hand.

She shuddered as she sipped,
Then she wiped her stiffened lip,
And said, "Thank you, love,
I knew you'd understand."

about

Dan Cray Massachusetts

...flows from one beautiful, unsettling melody to the next, sometimes contemplative, at others softly abrasive. American Music Club, Pavement, Miracle Legion and Yo La Tengo come to mind.
