well if the light comes shining on me
I’ll be deep in the mountains
an island without a sea
I could be the one to have it all
standing in the ash I’ll never fall
“oh what an enigma” they’ll say
“how’d she make it through?”
yes I could be the one to have it all
the anti-social socialite at every ball
I could be the one to have it all
she’s polite but never answers when you call
“oh what an enigma” they’ll say
“how’d you know it’s true?”
you see the ones you lost
carry on without a care or thought
you say your friends you knew would save you don’t have time
keep pretending maybe one day you’ll feel fine
you see the ones you lost

this record is so evocative of a specific time of day, in a specific room, in a specific time of my childhood in 1991, that I get kind of lost in memory when I listen. this is music overflowing with warmth and kindness, a soft world for anyone who needs it Ashley Rivera
