And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties?

A hand-me-down dress from who knows where

To all tomorrow's parties

And where will she go, and what shall she do

When midnight comes around?

She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown

And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties?

Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns

To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags

When Monday comes around?

She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown

And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties?

For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown

For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown

Of rags and silks, a costume

Fit for one who sits and cries

Hi Ian: I was looking through some old emails today for this project, and I saw that you emailed me recommending this Doveman record when you turned in a Radian review in 2009. My typically enthusiastic response to the email was, "Cool, thanks -- I'll look it up." I finally gave it a spin today, and it's just as wonderful as you suggested. I hope this serves as some sort of reminder that I'm terrible at email (not that you need such a reminder!), but also a little ways of saying that I always appreciate how much time and effort that you put into yours. Even if it takes me more than a decade to follow up on one. I'm reading them all, we're all reading them, and they mean a lot.
