Folk Song 4

from Curtains by Paris Street

lyrics

We don't know how to drink to perfection but we know how to cope
The front porch is creaking, the wind is unsure where to go
The words I say hang in the air then fall flat on their face
And comfort ain't coming so I keep it all in for your sake

Well damn if I still care, if I tend to still show concern
I'm trying my best but these feelings can't help but return
Your weakness was in finding fault where there's none to be found
Do me a favor and act surprised when it all goes down

We write with regret, then pick up and we proceed anew
It's too hot on this otherwise-fine July afternoon
The mosquitoes gather, take pity, and fly away
And I'm sincerely sorry for having nothing to say
