Hope you dig it. Here are the lyrics...

 

Scribbles scratched to let me know where you've been

said you spent twenty years in an opium den

i'll never have time to read all the letters you've sent

but i'll try to get through all the black and the blue

ink that you spilt on the dark afternoon in that

far off place, which time has half erased

 

in that cold, musty room

packed up your bags

and tied up your shoes

you'd never grow old

you didn't want to

 

So i'll drown and i'll dream and i'll scour and i'll scheme and i'll 

put it all together and break at the seams

if there's half of a chance I could get to the bottom of you

 

in that cold, musty room

packed up your bags

and tied up your shoes

you'd never grow old

you didn't want to

 

said you tripped at the stadium, lips full of radium

a brush in your hand and the boss you couldn't stand

but you never missed a train and your blouse was 

soiled and stained

and i think of you now as i look at the clouds as they 

sing and they soar and they rip and they roar

they say its nothing but vapor

and i shouldnt chase her

im on the edge of a razor with blood on my blazer

im on the edge of a razor with blood on my blazer

Got a nice drifty vibe about it with the drums dragging a bit. Nice harmonies and well produced; made me think of Wilco which can only be a good thing!

Thanks! Love Wilco, so that is certainly a good thing

Interesting. I'm digging the lyrics.
