    A bucket list item for me, getting this record pressed. 180 gram vinyl with a cool home-printed lyric sheet. NOT shrink-wrapped, because single use plastic is dumb. They'll ship in a clear slip cover like you'd find in the record store.

lyrics

Are you lonely there, in the corner of the cemetery yard
Or wherever exactly it is you are?
I don’t have too much to say, talking to the open air
Well, anyway, if you can hear me, I guess you’d already know

There’s an Indian blanket flower coming up in the middle of the mugwort
And the beads that your dad left hanging on the trellis, they’re rattling in the wind
There’s not a cloud in the sky and I wonder why
Cause I can feel this humidity weighing me down
And I haven’t been able to get out from under it

I weep for my daughters
And I weep for the world they’re growing up in
I weep for the friends that moved along
And I weep now for no reason at all

Now there’s three little girls gathered round the piano
They’re pounding out melodies I’d never dream of
I hear you singing their bedtime songs upstairs in the lamplight
My heart runneth over knowing how lucky I am

I weep for the wife who still loves me
And I weep for the world that she lives in
I weep for the friends that moved along
And I weep now for no reason at all
