lyrics
Me missing her is like nostalgia for the war
You get bored always fighting for your corps
Absalom, god damn, Absalom
She’s still waiting for 2004
So was I but not anymore
Absalom, god damn, Absalom
Goodbye, Wild Horses & hello Vietnam
So long, Absalom
“Who's your mortician? That shirt come in your size?”
She had an alligator grin but no laughter in her eyes
There was murder in her eyes
“Won’t you look at us, we haven’t changed a bit
“May have gone a bit grey but, hey, who gives a shit”
Well, who gives a shit?
God damn, Absalom
Goodbye, Wild Horses & hello Vietnam
So long, Absalom
You’re the song I don’t sing anymore
The dried hydrangea I hide in the bottom desk drawer
You’re Wild Horses
We all love someone we don’t truly know
Follow them till they reach a place we can’t go
But I loved you so, god damn, I loved you so
Goodbye, Wild Horses & hello Vietnam
So long, Absalom
You get bored always fighting for your corps
Absalom, god damn, Absalom
She’s still waiting for 2004
So was I but not anymore
Absalom, god damn, Absalom
Goodbye, Wild Horses & hello Vietnam
So long, Absalom
“Who's your mortician? That shirt come in your size?”
She had an alligator grin but no laughter in her eyes
There was murder in her eyes
“Won’t you look at us, we haven’t changed a bit
“May have gone a bit grey but, hey, who gives a shit”
Well, who gives a shit?
God damn, Absalom
Goodbye, Wild Horses & hello Vietnam
So long, Absalom
You’re the song I don’t sing anymore
The dried hydrangea I hide in the bottom desk drawer
You’re Wild Horses
We all love someone we don’t truly know
Follow them till they reach a place we can’t go
But I loved you so, god damn, I loved you so
Goodbye, Wild Horses & hello Vietnam
So long, Absalom

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album.
