about

I think I have written this song several times before, but I think this might be my favorite version of it. As always, I'd like to do several more lyrical drafts on this, but musically, I think it's close to where I want it to be.

lyrics

I am sending you a message

I have sealed the envelope

and I expect that you’ll respond
In kind
For it’s a cloudy day in Winston

and they’re calling for a storm
and I could use a little peace
Of mind

And there’s a fire on the wind
And there’s smoke in the south
And there’s a man in a black hat
With a black heart and a
Black tongue in his mouth

My Dahlia
Where have you gone
the stream’s gone dry
good patience

As long as it takes
til all of the days gone by

Did you cut your hair for summer

have you thought about the coast

it’s a seller’s market now

I hear
There’s a photo, scratched and faded

in a box in my bedroom
You were singing me a tune

I couldn’t hear

But I can hear it tonight

and it won’t leave me alone
And if you heard it would you still know

how the song goes

did you leave those days behind

My Dahlia
Where have you gone
the stream’s gone dry
good patience

As long as it takes
til all of the days gone by

They’re sailing ships across the harbor tonight

don’t know where anybody goes
Long time ago I heard the sound of the spheres

now it’s just broken radios 


My Dahlia
Where have you gone
the stream’s gone dry
good patience

As long as it takes
til all of the days gone by
