You have gone
Away to the place
Where you don’t mind
That my care for you has run out
No more stinging bellies
No more insomnia
Or walking around
Wondering what happened
I liked you better
When you were sick and dying
The nights of fevered dreams
Ripping at the seams
For me. Curse my selfish schemes.
I have gone
Away to the place
Where I don’t mind
That your care for me has run out
But I can’t seem to reconcile
The you that I knew
With the one that hides
From me, unwilling
To see someone you want
Forgotten
I want to wish you well.
I’m getting tired
Of breaking down
And building up
You can see
What it’s done
To me, so close
The door and keep it shut.
I was so sick to the touch
But the fever is down.
It was only a matter of time
Before it fell.
I want to wish you well, baby
But I can’t.

Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2022
