It seems like in times like these [you know...when you can't find the words yourself, but others seem perfectly fitting] I always seem to scrawl down Wilco or Leonard Cohen lyrics. So why stop now?

I Tried To Leave You

I tried to leave you,
I don't deny I closed the book on us,
at least a hundred times.
I'd wake up every morning by your side.

The years go by,
you lose your pride.
The baby's crying,
so you do not go outside,
and all your work it's right before your eyes.

Goodnight, my darling,
I hope you're satisfied,
the bed is kind of narrow,
but my arms are open wide.
And here's a man still working for your smile.

Leonard Cohen
