There are so many songs by The Handsome Family that I could post. They make me want to move with you to a lake.
A Beautiful Thing
Don't you remember that snowy December when we went to see "Singing in the Rain"?
I shouldn't have smuggled in that bottle of gin because after the film, I could barely walk.
But, darling don't you know it's only human to want to kill a beautiful thing.
When I was seven summer lasted forever.
I used to chase fire flies through the woods.
Tiny green lights circling warm August nights.
I'd catch them inside a washed-out old jar.
I dreamed of the stars with the jar by my bed, but each morning my pretty bugs were dead.
We should have been dancing like lovers in a movie, but I fell and cut my head in the snow.
I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you but, instead I got sick on the train.
