"Valentine" lyrics
"Valentine"
Oh dear Valentine
Before your mind went
You were always fixing
All things broken
All things bent
Jacking up the house
Where the foundation was going
And showing your young son
All the worlds you were knowing
'Til the voices crowded out your mind
I know you did your best, Valentine
Three kids and a wife
And a job with the State
Until the earth within
Began to crumble and to shake
Around every corner
A lurking danger
In the eyes of the family
You grew to be a stranger
As the voices crowded out your mind
I know you did your best, Valentine
Your kids are doing just fine
Your legacy is life, Valentine
Valentine, Valentine, Valentine

The Low Anthem - "Love And Altar" As the water finds the cracks
Birds pick the highways clean
Crucifix across my shoulder blades
Got your name tattooed between
So you say the root is dry
As you flash the old-time camera
And hide...
Marika Hackman - "Ophelia" She who walks alone in life, is she of sound mind?
I am only as old as I've been told
Now I'm playing for time
Darling, take me to the lakeside
Wash my body well
I am holy now, the water's hit me...
Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins - "It Wasn't Me" It wasn't me, I wasn't there
I was just watching from over here
And besides, I couldn't afford the bus fare
In Hollywood and Washington
They shake and smile through the harm they've done
But...
Joan Shelley - "Stay On My Shore" Stay on my shore and don't desert me
And if you go, the wind will blow you back to me
And if your boat is broken out on the rocks
It wasn't anger, but a longing
We feed the birds syrup and seed
So...
Bill Callahan - "Small Plane" You used to take me up
I watched and learned
How to fly
No navigation system
Beyond our eyes
Watching
I always went wrong in the same place
Where the river splits towards the sea
That couldn't...
