Ben's My Friend - Sun Kil Moon I woke this morning august 3rd It's pretty slow and uneventful summer Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe Went to New Orleans and went to see my family Woke up this morning and it occurred I needed one more chapter to finish up here I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired Laid on my bed I got a little tired Met my girl and we walked down Union Street I was scared and my head was in a bunch of places Bought a 350 dollar pair of lampshades And we ate at Perry's and we ordered crab cakes Blue crab cakes Blue crab cakes Blue crab cakes She said I seemed distracted And asked what's going on with me I said I can't explain it it's a middle age thing She said ok and ate her eggs Benedict And I looked at the walls cluttered with sports bar sh*t Sports bar sh*t Sports bar sh*t Sports bar sh*t Got on the phone and I called my mother And called my father talked a little bit with him My sister she's got a new boyfriend He's a deer hunter And she's getting used to medicine And my dad's still fighting with his girlfriend About him flirting with them girls up in My momma's good But she sounded out of breath I worry so much about her I worry to death I worry to death I worry about her to death I worry to death The other night I went and saw the postal service Ben's my friend but getting there was the worst Tryna park and getting up the hill And find a spot among drunk kids staring at themselves Staring at the back I forgot I'm 8000 Thought of Ben when I met him in 2000 At a festival in Spain he was on a small stage then And I didn't know his name Now he's singing at the Greek and he's busting moves And my legs were hurt and then my feet were too Calling after settling Said I'll skip the backstage high five Thanks for the nice music and all the exercise And we laughed and it was alright And we laughed and it was alright It was alright Between a middle guy man With a backstage pass Hanging around like a jackass Everybody was 20 years younger than me I drove to my place near Tahoe Got in my hot tub and thought that's over It was quiet and I was listening to the crickets And Ben still out there Selling lots of tickets Then in a couple of days my meltdown passed Back to the studio doing 12 hours shifts Singing a song about one thing or another Every day behind this tender long summer This tender long summer This tender long summer This tender long summe编辑于2021/02/11更新
