Half-Ass Hug 03:49
I'm tired of this illusion that I am not alone Because I am so alone I am so alone And I keep hearing that it's not my fault But I don't know What did I do? What did I do? What did I do that was so wrong for you? Oh I keep hearing that it's not my fault But I don't know And when he gives me this half-ass hug One arm on my shoulder, oh I think, "Don't hold me like that, don't hold me like that." He says, "Take care," and I say, "I love you still. I love you, still," Oh I keep hearing that it's not my fault But I don't know.

Bittersweet 03:35
We haven't spoken Since we parted ways We were underneath the quilt I sewed for you And now I wonder what happened What do you do now with that warmth? So I call you Just to tell you Just to tell you I'm leaving this time It's a bittersweet goodbye to you from me Bittersweet, bittersweet It's a bittersweet goodbye to you from me Bittersweet, bittersweet Goodbye Now I'm shaking just at seeing your face How could I ever have thought this was a good idea My hands are gripping a cup of hot tea Anything, anything just to feel that warmth When I tell you I haven't forgotten When I tell you your words that pierce me It's a bittersweet goodbye to you with me Bittersweet, bittersweet It's a bittersweet goodbye to you with me Bittersweet, bittersweet Goodbye Now I'm hearing your apologies How you're sorry, oh, you were wrong, you were wrong And for a moment I start to let go I start to release you, you're on your own But it doesn't mean that I don't miss you I still want all those times of loving you back It's a bittersweet goodbye to me with you Bittersweet, bittersweet It's a bittersweet goodbye to me with you Bittersweet, bittersweet Goodbye Oh it's not that I won't ever love again Oh it's not that I won't ever love again, oh But I will not ever love you again, no, I will not ever love you again It's a bittersweet goodbye to me with you Bittersweet, bittersweet It's a bittersweet goodbye to me with you Bittersweet, bittersweet Goodbye

Again and again Again and again I see your face Feel your embrace I start to think that I know love Day by day Day by day I let you in You let me in I start to think that I know you well 'Cause I know your voice The sound of your breath But please meet me in the morning We'll start all over again We're always starting over again 'Cause the day I think I know you is the day I don't know you at all I don't know you at all I don't know you at all I don't know you at all I don't know you at all I start to fear I start feeling fear that You won't love me You won't love me Won't you love me still? If I don't have Much to say If I stay the same If I fail to entertain If I follow the mundane if If all I want is To simply be Well I know I have fears I cradle them dearly But please meet me in the morning We'll start all over again We're always starting over again 'Cause the day I think I know you is the day I don't know you at all I don't know you at all I don't know you at all I don't know you at all I don't know you at all

Weaving 03:47
Underneath on top Underneath on top Under over under over Under over on top Yes the strings of you And the strings of me Weaving Weaving, yes, as in a blue and orange cloth That one might use to clean the kitchen table In the winter time The french doors reflect a clear bright image Of the tulip lamp that hangs above the table And I can't see the trees outside No I can't see the trees outside It gets dark so early these days Underneath on top Underneath on top Under over under over Under over on top Yes the strings of you And the strings of me Weaving

Arcane 03:53
Wind vanes and arcane love Uncontained freight train drug City streets, concrete heat Forgetting me, remember me Remember me Blue curtains drifting open Oh how I wish her exhales could have been But I've got my reasons for keepin' it arcane Inscrutable love lays down to rest Yeah I've got my reasons for keepin' it arcane For keepin' it arcane, arcane, arcane Oh how I wish her exhales could have been Accompanied by soft sounds Soft sweet sounds Well I've got my reasons for keepin' it arcane Inscrutable love lays down to rest Yeah I've got my reasons for keepin' it arcane For keepin' it arcane, arcane, arcane

His one redeeming quality was that he played the organ Which isn't even a quality but at least a commitment that he kept. A few Thanksgivings ago I played a Poulenc nocturne for my dad He said slowly, "You know, your grandfather could really play. And I think you get it from him. Yes, I think you get it from him. Oh when he played the organ, He was a musical genius yeah, he could really play." I play the organ on Sundays as the congregation filters in Oh it's then, it's then That I start to wonder about my grandfather When I'm sitting at an electric organ With one too many manuals for my comfort And I'm still relying upon the grace of whatever god might exist To find the notes that I'm supposed to Play with my feet I hope that someday, I too, will be redeemed I hope that someday, I too, will be redeemed.
