LYRICS:
"Her window looked out on North Church Street
An attic space overgrown
A photobook of smiling friends
Road maps, New York, Los Angeles
Her walls are Mediterranean blue
Her baby sister picked the hue
Saltwater taffy, Jersey shore
Blue like the fingernails she wore

The house is not far from the school
Her mom taught on the Hudson
Her dad's guitar sings open-tuned
Reverberates up through the floor
Our love grew more one summer there
We'd spend our days just driving round
Old parking lots and neighborhoods
Are framed and charmed in Moorestown

I followed her across the Earth
Through parks in London, coasts of Perth
Newport, Kentucky and New Orleans
We shared a million lives it seems
I slept with her so many nights
We moved together heavenly
So close the North Pacific slept
You too were once beside me

She moved away to Williamsburg
Her eyes, sad as a raven
My thoughts will pause, my throat will swell
When her name is spoken
And looking past the cold, long sea
I cannot bear to wonder now
If the cascading soft lights
Are glowing for us in Moorestown
Are glowing for us in Moorestown"

Mark Kozelek saves my life everyday. Literally. The music he makes and his voice stop me from reaching into the closet where I keep a piece of rope that I bought when I first wanted to bring my life to an end.

Thank you, Mark, for all the inexpressibly beautiful, wistful and heartbreaking music you've made over the years.

If there's a god, may he or she protect you just like the angels from your songs.

3 people dislike this??? wtf

[FullMetalSatomi]

@neegrowkiller666 No, you go kill YOURSELF, you piece of shit.

[awaitlightning]

@nickthestripper28 To echo the comments of an earlier poster, my friend you are certainly not alone in finding such emotions in Mark's music, or in the world in general.

Speaking as someone who tried to commit suicide when I was younger, I can tell you there is hope and happiness in the world but it can be very hard, if not seemingly impossible, to find at times. I really hope you find such hope in the world.

Didn't know this song existed until right now. I hate my town so fucking much. Soooo glad to be far far away from Moorestown. :)

[neegrowkiller666]

@nickthestripper28 lol kill yourself, you emotional waste of space.

[Moebius92]

This song is my official -making love- background music. xD

@nickthestripper28

Have you ever considered throwing away the rope?

[noose32]

Absolutely beautiful and haunting. It evokes familiar emotions in everyone who listens to it, I think.

[ApokalypticFilms]

This song is so calm. Makes you feel a little better after you shove preparation h up your butt.

@nickthestripper28 I pray you are alive and okay, I love you and do not know you, I attempted the same, but I learned, the most beautiful thing about living is Love in all its incomprehensible and at times, simple and graceful forms.--Luis Barahona
