about

A meditation on The Sound of Music, wildflowers, and the daughters of Alabama after listening to nothing but Dylan's Blood on the Tracks for weeks straight.

lyrics

Beautiful girl, you left me like a child,
tired for you, and thinking of your eyes

If I ever get out of here you know
I'll pick you up slow
and take you with me

Somewhere in the hills, there's a light that leaves you blind
And paints the world until you begin to change your mind

If I ever get out of here you know
I'll turn myself around
If I ever get out of here you know
I'll turn myself around

(enter harmonica binge)

If I ever get out of here you know
I'll pick you up slow and take you with me
If I ever get out of here you know
I'm never coming back

Beautiful girl, you left me like a child,
tired for you, and thinking of your eyes
