Here comes the weather
It’s looking like another storm
If all desire
Would leave this tired boy alone
Hopes haunt me like ghosts
They point their fingers
Grass grows in the cracks
Wind makes me shiver
Angelyne, forgive me We threw it all away
You could never stand living with a man
Who could only lead you half way to love
I tried to fake it But you wouldn’t play along
I watched you naked
Innocent and holding on Snowflakes make your bones ache in the winter
Your face will not fade, it will just linger
Angelyne, forgive me We threw it all away
You could never stand living with a man
Who could only lead you half way
Angelyne, forgive me We threw it all away
I could never fit into your plans
I’m nobody’s man
Don’t you tell me how to live my life
Don’t you tell me how to live my life
Angelyne, forgive me We threw it all away
You could never stand living with a man
Who could only lead you half way
Angelyne, forgive me We threw it all away
I could never fit into your plans
I’m nobody’s man
Sorry, I know I am in the vast minority on this among their (other) hardcore fans, but this is my absolute FAVE Jayhawks tune of all (and they, collectively and individually, only have/write unbelievably phenomenal songs!).
This one just 'gets to me', hitting way too close to home for my recent past last relationship scenario (along with "Better Days" since she was "a black haired girl").
Besides that, it contains some of the BEST expressive imagery in any song ever written, anywhere, at any time, I mean "hopes haunt me like ghosts they point their fingers", DAYUM!!
Don't get caught up in a situation that you love more, it will only break you. The best line for me is "your face will not fade it will just linger", of course it will. What better revenge than to linger in someones head.
