CD: Corner of July

Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song on the Golden Gate Bridge after receiving a pretty powerful letter from my friend, Nathan. And, although I didn't realize what it was about until months later, the upshot is this: out of all the ways I see him, I can choose to see him through my "favorite eye," essentially my favorite way to see them, removed from all the ugly eyes that rear their noisy heads. The power of this view, this gaze into someone else, is beautiful and haunting.
Lyrics
so beautiful in my favorite eye
i was watching you from the corner of july
my friends all told me to let this one go by
go by
and now you're speaking in tongues
and i am feeding you lines
it doesn't make it any easier
yeah we're such two different people
yeah you don't see what i see
but i can't dismiss you that easily
when you told me, you told me...
i miss the moon in grim lagoon
the dark old man and the ancient child
i miss the wild bees of myrrh
and your bathroom cooly tiled
i miss so much from out my sides, from out my sides
so beautiful in my favorite eye
so lovely in my favorite eye
you're so beautiful in my precious eye
my favorite eye
so beautiful, so nice when you told me...
i miss the moon in grim lagoon
the dark old man and the ancient child
i miss the wild bees of myrrh
and your bathroom cooly tiled
i miss so much from out my sides, from out of my sides...
there slips a rope and there's the tower stacked out of your head
i miss the dead that never lived
and the lived, the lived, that ever died
i miss so much from out my out my sides
all the things i never said
and all the times i wished i did
and the look you looked at me
and all the things you'd never be
the way you haunt me in my sleep
it's like the company you keep
the way you haunt me...
so beautiful in my favorite eye
so lovely in my favorite eye
you're so beautiful in my precious eye
my favorite eye
so lovely, so nice when you said to me...
i miss the moon in grim lagoon
the dark old man and the ancient child
i miss the wild bees of myhrr
and your bathroom cooly tile
i miss so much from out my sides
i miss so much in my favorite eye
from out my sides, in my favorite eye
my favorite eye
