lyrics

The sound of the door my father closed
and left me alone in the wild city
where the days of nothing much
yawned out before me

and became my life I guess
holiday drunk forever
woke up in jeans on my bed
the hours gone like punched out teeth

Cal across the table on east 9th
like an angel in the steam
reached out through the dream I was caught in
first to wake me in a year

the light pours down
it calls you out
who are you now

so I found a friend and a couch and I sat down to sweat it out
every day I felt the void underneath me but I didn’t look down
I tightened my grip on the subway pole and the soft flick of pages
on the shower of light from the rose room windows on my fellow failures
to do anything well is an act of love and I needed love
to save my life

so I cut the cable to the world
and its hatred of the lonely
and while the darkness fell on midtown banks
the light stayed on beside me

the light pours down
it calls me out
who are you now

yeah I found a friend and a couch and I sat down to sweat it out
every day I felt the void underneath me but I didn’t look down
there in the rose room among all the old glory of new york
among all the people with no other warm place they could go
I set out to save my life

What a joy this album of Katie's is. Katie's music has lifted and lifted again through these trying times. I just love everything about this album, the sparse arrangements, the understated production, every sound its own garden, its own JWST deep inner-space revelation. Thank you. Andrew Garton
