this is such an amazing song. it’s not my favorite of the album, that would be FIGHTER | DANCER, but it’s such a good ending to the album, with mentioning flowers of robert mapplethorpe in the first song IF YOU ARE HERE YOU ARE BLESSED, and the way this song is extended past where it orignally went. i love it, amazing cover, well done
Favorite track: NINE STARS.
MY STARS QUIET DOWN WHEN YOU’RE AROUND
OR PERHAPS THE SIGHT OF YOU DOES THE TRICK TO DULL THE SOUND
A GLISTENING, BRISTLING LIGHT IS BEAMING O’ER THE SEA
BUT SOMETHING SO SPECIFIC IN YOU TAMES THE STARS IN ME
OH HONEY, WON’T YOU STAY A LITTLE WHILE?
I’VE NEVER FELT MY FLAGRANT NOISES LAY SO TAME AND MILD
A GLISTENING, BRISTLING LIGHT IS BEAMING O’ER THE SEA
BUT SOMETHING SO SPECIFIC IN YOU TAMES THE STARS IN ME
AAH, AAH, AAH
TAMES THE STARS IN ME
AAH, AAH, AAH
TAMES THE STARS IN MЕ
MY STARS QUIET DOWN WHEN YOU’RE AROUND
OR PERHAPS THE SIGHT OF YOU DOES THE TRICK TO DULL THE SOUND
A GLISTENING, BRISTLING LIGHT IS BEAMING O’ER THE SEA (AAH, AAH, AAH)
BUT SOMETHING SO SPECIFIC IN YOU TAMES THE STARS IN ME
OH HONEY, WON’T YOU STAY A LITTLE WHILE? (TAMES THE STARS IN ME)
I’VE NEVER FELT MY FLAGRANT NOISES LAY SO TAME AND MILD
A GLISTENING, BRISTLING LIGHT IS BEAMING O’ER THE SEA (AAH, AAH, AAH)
BUT SOMETHING SO SPECIFIC IN YOU TAMES THE STARS IN ME
AAH, AAH, AAH
TAMES THE STARS IN ME (TAMES THE STARS IN ME)
AAH, AAH, AAH
TAMES THE STARS IN ME
THE SUN IS SETTING DEAREST, THE INSECTS SING THEIR TUNE
IT’S GETTING COLDER DEAREST, WILL YOU BE LEAVING SOON?
DID I SAY SOMETHING DEAREST, SOMETHING FAR OUT OF LINE?
PLEASE TELL ME JUST WHAT DEAREST, WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?
I SWEAR, THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS, IT ALWAYS FINDS A WAY
I ALWAYS MAKE MISTAKES WHEN I START TO FEEL TOO SAFE
DID I SAY SOMETHING DEAREST, SOMETHING FAR OUT OF LINE?
JUST TELL ME YOU’LL BE COMING BACK
PLEASE UNDERSTAND
PLEASE UNDERSTAND
OH
AND WHEN THE HEARTACHE QUIETS
WHEN BIRDSONG FILLS MY EARS
AS I FACE NOONS OF DRYNESS
WHILE I FORCE DOWN MY FEARS
I’LL THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGHTER
I’LL THANK YOU THROUGH THE TEARS
IF THIS IS “BYE” FOREVER
IT’S BEEN AN HONOR, DEAR
and, at the same time i don’t want to be clingy, i don’t want to be suffocating. and so i- am scared to reach out to people. um, because i’m scared they’ll think that i’m being clingy, or- suffocating. and then they’ll- i’ll hurt them, which i can’t stand, and then they’ll leave me, which i can’t stand. for. and so like what do you do, you know?
there’s an- there’s a rock etching on the cliff wall here that says “IF YOU ARE HERE YOU ARE BLESSED”. um, and i guess that’s why i came here, because i wanted to see that. i know it’s an irrational- fear. i know there’s people who care about me, who tell me they care about me. but i get hurt too easily.
anyway, um. yeah.
it's a nice day out today.
