for Philip Seymour Hoffman. 
Lyrics:
Did you find an old letter from an ex-lover
In some secret vault you kept behind the bed?
I would never claim we knew each other
And I'm no expert on the demons in your head

But did you find an old lover who said she was better
Than a life that looked like "less than" after all?
After fighting for the top and finally summiting
You'd think the heart could stop its plummeting;
Stop its fall

I'll sing this song for you- just a stranger that you never knew
Not that songs can help you now
Your last role's incomplete
You got a world of strangers on their feet
Hoping that you'll take one final bow

When I saw you speak on the Upper West some years ago
You smiled like Cassius in Julius C.
Like a Hamlet who'd have rather played Horatio
It's just conjecture, but that's how you looked to me.

Did you find an old letter from an ex-lover
Behind the moulding underneath your bed?
After stumbling from the rock and still recovering
Was the darkness always hovering,
Or is it just in my head?




I'll sing this song for you- though I can't say just why I do-
Just another random fan.
You were golden in our eyes; the brightest star in darkest skies.
Never even shook your hand.

Did you find an old lover who said you were better
Than this Picasso dressed up like a slob?
I don't believe you meant to dial your cosmic agent to get you off this job.

I'll sing this song for you,
Just a no one you aspired to
Or am I near the mark at all?
I know I'm not alone in a world that gave a standing o
But you missed your curtain call.

Old love song in the night, sing me home to you.
Triangulate between the fields and lesser highways between us two
No answer in the wind or from the fireflies gliding by me.
All predictions point to total failure,
But, destiny, just come and try me.

Born to live in love with you
I was born to live in love with you.
Yeah born to live in love with you.
Born to love you.

Don't underestimate our inability to understand.
Though it seems like random disconnected and banal events,
It's part of love's grand plan.

Born to live in love with you
I was born to live in love with you.
Yeah born to live in love with you.
Born to love you.

And should you let fall your summer dress 
Among the weeds you thought were flowers,
There's no need to get depressed.
It's all a beautiful mess.

Born to live in love with you
I was born to live in love with you.
Yeah born to live in love with you.
Born to love you.

Philip (with lyrics)
