Letter to Jill Songtext

Did you want to be forgotten? did you think it mattered not?
Did you fight for what you've got? So sing into your kitchen pots and pans, write poems to sing outside? Point the owls out where they hide

I'd look for bats somedays, we were both just out looking for a friend who'd stay, you lived like you were young until your hair turned grey. And are you motivated now? Will it all be over soon? Do you feel alone staring blankly at the moon?

So fight for healthcare in your town, make a painting every day, don't throw anything away, you're mythologized today, a hero to your friends, you'll live on inside of them

I told you everything in a letter that I never sent the tides will bring your heart out to the ocean you're remembering, sink into the darkest depths, your fragile voice a promise kept to you and all you love... Jill, they'll write your name in the stratus clouds above

Now I look for birds these days, imagining I'd hang on every word you'd say, you wouldn't be afraid you boldly led the way, held your breath, descended into empty space and ended, and I meant every word I wrote, Jill I'd die for you and I want you to know
