LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Sufjan Stevens, "Should Have Known Better"

Fiona Apple - Why Try To Change Me Now?

You made me forget about
Have, want, exert
And all of a sudden, I feel proud
Of being, without saying a word

You made me forget about
Past and pain
Time, you washed out
Like a soft, sudden, summer rain

You do me good
You do me
So good, you made me forget about
hmmm

You made me forget about
Have, want and exert
And all of a sudden, I found out
Oh, it's beautiful, the way you wear your shirt
You do me good, you made me forget about
hmmm

Sibylle Baier - Forget about

Forgett - Sibylle Baier - Colour Green

Recorded in the early 70's in her home on a reel to reel recording device, the songs on "Colour Green" are intimate portraits of life's sad and fragile beauty.
