My Head is My Only House Until it Rains

If the train don’t go there
I’ll get a jet or a bus
I’m gonna find you
You’re mine and I know I’ll find you
My head is my only house
Until I find you
I’ll walk the meadow plains
Water deserts by my eyes until I find you
I won’t sleep until I find you
I won’t eat until I’ve found you
Heart won’t beat
Until I can wrap my arms around you
Heart won’t beat
Until I’ve found you
My arms are just two things in the way until I can wrap them around you
You can make a sad song happy
And a bad world good
I can feel you out there movin’
You’re mine and I know I’ll find you
And my head is my only house unless it rains
I hate to let other people hear me sing this song
If it reaches you before I do
Follow this song to I love you
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Heart won’t beat
Until I can wrap my arms around you
Heart won’t beat
Until I’ve found you
My head is my only house unless it rains

I hate to let other people hear me sing this song
If it reaches you before I do
Follow this song to I love you
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Heart won’t beat
Heart won’t beat
Heart won’t beat
Until I found you
And my head is my only house unless it rains.


You can keep your Bjork and your Carpenters.

That's the one I quote in love letters to my wife.

"I Only Have Eyes For You" - The Flamingos.

I was talking about this song with a friend the other day. Nobody writes ballads like this anymore, at least not that I'm aware of. Its got a classy way about the lyrics that's neither straight-forward heart-on-its-sleeve syrupy "I Wuv You" garbage, nor is it overly-complex "personal" poetic drivel that tries too hard to be abstract. The lyrics are a deceptively-simple idea, beautifully expounded on and fully realized.

Not to mention the melody and overall sound of everything. Just haunting.
That dog won't hunt, monsignor.

Go listen to your beard-nerd aluminum guitar shit. See if I care.
