When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I’m older see it face to face
And now I’m older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I’m darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I’d see when day was done
Now I’m weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you

Lately she don’t care for a warmer breeze
Or shade around the base of the maple trees
Spring was on the mountain we climbed upon
Stopped to see how high and how far we’d gone
I said “Love is waiting and better days”
She smiled and placed a kiss on my waiting face
Promise what you will something good for me
Time will take it all and it will you’ll see
–Iron & Wine, “Promise What You Will”

Saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
And it’s a pink moon
Yes, a pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink
Pink, pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink
Pink moon
Saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
And it’s a pink moon
Yes, a pink moon
–Nick Drake, “Pink Moon”
