SHORTER VERSES
The National
Bloodbuzz Ohio
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
Pink Floyd
Mother
Mother will she tear your little boy apart; Mother will she break my heart
Mother did it need to be so high
Ryan Adams
Sweet Carolina
Up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunset’s just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds, they blow across the south
Elton John Version
Ryan Adams
La Cienega Just Smiles
And I hold you close in the back of my mind
And raise my glass ’cause either way I’m dead
Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore
One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul
La Cienega just smiles as it waves goodbye
Don Henley
Heart of the Matter
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again
I’ve been trying to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it’s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
