Besides "Landslide" this is the other song I can listen to a million zillion times and always still love and never grow out of....
And a neat music video!
M. Ward - Chinese Translation (from the album Post-War)
Such simple yet profound songwriting...
I sailed a wild, wild sea,
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain,
I met an old, old man beneath a weeping willow tree,
He said "Now if you've got some questions, go and lay them at my feet,
But my time here is brief, so you'll have to pick just three"
And I said...
"What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
And how can a man like me remain in the light?
And if life is really as short as they say
...then why is the night so long?"
