letra de february rain - mark kozelek with ben boye and jim white

you planted tulips, you would never see bloom
you had a baby you’d never seen turn two
you got sickness all throughout your bones
you went to the hospital and you never came home
you died today, fourteen years ago
and i still think about you every day, you know
every scratch on my hardwood floor
is carved by the claws of that big fat tabby cat of yours
i just walked to the water and i thought of you
and all of the beautiful places that you introduced me to
and i looked at the bridge and the fog hanging over
i thought about how many times we drove over it

into mill valley, driving past san quentin
that once housed my distant cousin

on the way to fairfax
to spend time with your father and your mother
listening to some music or the other
cat stevens’ tea for the tiller
neil young’s harvest moon and joni mitch-ll’s blue
and leo kottke, i never dug him but i put up with him for you
your p-ssing is tragic and it f-cked everyone up who knew you
very very badly

at the time we were hijacked by so much pain that we couldn’t see
but in your 34 years, you accomplished so many many things
you dated your favorite musician
you were a great painter and you sold some paintings over in britain
you married a man who became the father of your daughter
you lived near the ocean most of your life
you loved the smell of salt water
you had two best friends who loved you very very so
and i sing a song for you everywhere i go
i wish i could call you now but i can’t and i’m sorry
you always made me smile when i got mopey
i was yours and you were mine
and my god, we were good together but we were only 29
but my career was getting busier and busier
and i had so much on my mind

i knew it was best to set you free
i knew there was someone who could
give you things i couldn’t give you
he gave you a ring and a beautiful girl
and what could i give you?
i was traveling so much around the world

so here it is, fourteen years since i last saw you
i hear the broom sweeping across the floor
just like in the song “harvest moon”
the february rain is relentless and i’m lost in thoughts of you
and the rain is relentless today and i’m lost in thoughts of you
and the rain is relentless today and i’m lost in thoughts of you
and the rain is relentless today just like when i last saw you
and the rain is relentless tonight and i’m lost in thoughts of you
and the rain is relentless tonight and i’m lost in thoughts of you
