Luke 2:5-6 (NLT) - He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.

Just discovered this song and boy is my heart tired...

The garbage man is never going to come The cans out at the curb will bloat and stink The rock will work its way through cracks in the the foundation The water will grow stagnant in the sink And you, you will know Where it is that memories go

The migratory birds will not come back The charms that summer held will all turn sour And from the treetops when the wind stops Sweet blossoms will rain down and you will spin beneath the shower And it will be so clear You will never quite escape last year

Whon (Live 06-13-2009)

The garbage man is never going to come The cans out at the curb will bloat and stink The rock will work its way through cracks in the the foundation The water will grow stagnant in the sink And you, you will know Where it is that memories go

The migratory birds will not come back The charms that summer held will all turn sour And from the treetops when the wind stops Sweet blossoms will rain down and you will spin beneath the shower And it will be so clear You will never quite escape last year

The wind will blow or else it won’t Sometimes you just move on and sometimes you just don’t You think the matter through, you try hard not to think The water all goes stagnant in the kitchen sink And you will know, and I will too What it was I might have left to you

354. Whon

Reminds me of We Shall All Be Healed (the unreleased song, not the album) and, in its prophecy-of-disaster, of The Plague and New World Emerging Blues. Also reminds me a bit of some of the AHWTX outtakes, and given the title, maybe it fits in with those. (Whon is a ghost town in middle-of-nowhere Texas.)

“The wind will blow or else it won’t” reminds me of the indifference of "maybe it was the right grave / maybe not" in Crows.

i feel ya. i had so many bap-related hoarded urls, it was ridiculous.
