about

For Judith Catherine.

lyrics

I remember you staring back at me
Into the crowded space of the El Rocco Room
Sing me your sweet songs

All our faces were illuminated

I remember you were smoking a joint at Patty L's
Then into the quiet space of your brother's place
Sing me your sweet songs
My darling, sweetheart

Only the cat had witnessed our dance

We sat together listening to Conor Oberst
To love and to be loved*
It came to me in the goddamned loveliest melody*
At my friend, Chi's house
I'm falling in love again

I had learned to read some famous books
but my darling I'm still sifting through pages
O love to begin to fathom your mind.

*Re-contextualised lyrics referring to a song from 'Lifted' (2002) by Bright Eyes.
