Lost Weekend
This weekend, locked up in the house as I have been, my mind began to wander and I've been swept up by a wave of nostalgia, along with not being totally sure of where I am now.
So, my soundtrack to the weekend: Carry Me Ohio by Sun Kil Moon. I'm not sure why, but I've had this on heavy rotation since Friday. It's like an aural balm, a soothing voice and heart breaking lyrics that make me think of being in a passenger seat of a car, watching the landscape slip by.
Este fin de semana, encerrada en casa, mis pensamientos han divagado mucho y me ha dejado llevar la nostalgia, junto con mis incertidumbres del presente.
Por lo tanto, mi banda sonora del fin de semana: Carry Me Ohio de Sun Kil Moon. No sé por qué razón, pero llevo desde el viernes escuchandola constantamente. Sirve como un bálsamo, una voz que alivia y letras que deja el corazón en pedazos y que me hace pensar en viajar en el asiento del acompañante y ver como el paisaje me pasa.
Sorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough
In these last days
Her tears
Fell on her pages found me out
On her words I don't know what
To do or say
Wading through
Warm canals and pools clear blue
The Tuscarawas flows into
The prairie land
Riding back
To where the highway met
Dead end tracks
The ground is now cement and glass
And far away
Heal her soul, carry her, my angel, Ohio
Lingering in
What about the sweetness we knew
What about what's good what's true
From those days
Can't count to
All the lovers I've burned through
So why do I still burn for you
I cannot say
Sorry that
I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Heal her soul, carry her, my angel, Ohio
Children blush
And gather round the home she rests
So poor and gold with their mid west
Moon and sun
Flashes bringing on
My open eyes the lightning storm
The tortured mist felt soft, felt warm
On my face
Craving dreams
A million miles ago you see
And the star that I just don't see
Anymore
Words long gone
Lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices heard along the way
Sorry for
Never going by your door
Never feeling love like that
Anymore
Heal her soul, carry her, my angel, Ohio
