Days are getting long now
Open all the windows
and leave it all behind me
I've come a long, long way
But I don't know what's worse
This time in the morning
or laying here in the evening light
I'll be fine but it's been all I can take
Seven hours later
I can't feel my poor heart break
Well I'm coming over tomorrow
to pick up all my things
Just lay 'em out in the front room
with one light on for me
I'll be fine but it's been all I can take
Seven hours later
I can't feel my poor heart break
Oh I'll be leaving
When all you had seems washed away
You watch as it spins and pulls
like a hurricane
From her 2008 release Only As The Day Is Long on Sub Pop. A sad, beautiful song, chosen by Jon's guest DJ Pete Moss for today's BOC. Great guitar, and some banjo (wave to my sister-in-law). I transcribed this from listening to the track since the lyrics weren't google-able.
