eddie + shannon + leaving
my (short) chronological entry for @try-set-me-on-fire’s playlist-sharing event (listen here)
The River by Bruce Springsteen [Me and Mary we met in high school / When she was just seventeen / We’d drive out of this valley/ Down to where the fields were green / We'd go down to the river / And into the river we'd dive / Oh, down to the river we'd ride]
Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right by Bob Dylan [But I wish there was something you would do or say / To try and make me change my mind and stay / But we never did too much talking anyway / But don't think twice, it's all right]
Graceland by Paul Simon [My traveling companion is nine years old / He is the child of my first marriage / But I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland / She comes back to tell me she's gone / As if I didn't know that / As if I didn't know my own bed]
Pink in the Night by Mitski [I could stare at your back all day / And I know I've kissed you before but / I didn't do it right / Can I try again, try again, try again? / Try again, and again, and again]
Suzanne by Leonard Cohen [And you want to travel with her / And you want to travel blind / And you think maybe you'll trust her / For you've touched her perfect body with your mind]
Clay Pigeons by Blaze Foley [I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again / Might go back down to Texas, or might go to somewhere that I've never been / Get up in the mornin' and go out at night / And I won't have to go home / Get used to bein' alone]
