This lethargic cut was written in at Standish Ave. in Providence in March, 2005. The third chorus is one of my favorite bits of recording...good luck making it there, ha.
lyrics
Dusty with age his spine is twisted
Sits counting the ‘A’s in newspaper headlines
The secrets he holds, the love that he holds
The lover he held, before the fall
He never needed a lover so hard
The sun’s scarring rays awake me come morning
With them, a day to waste me completely
Piercing the haze with notebooks and pencils
Scribbling for hours, hopes for the summer
I never needed a lover so hard
Soap in the cupboard, mouse in the attic
Ledge of the ladder, wooden paint mixer
Chocolate come nightfall, a candlelight dinner
Shakes up her slow globe to watch the flakes settle
She never needed a lover so hard
