about

This track was recorded live at Thunderbird Coffee during my friend Matt's photo opening.

lyrics

Oh, Leann, what’s wrong with your mind this time?

I found her in a levee of them fashion magazines
Fixed upon the photographs that held back her dreams
Her lobes were full of afterthoughts that shine so serene
Just to keep them to herself the dust would blot out their gleam
She caught my eye when I heard her spill her drink
The glass scattered on the tile and light scattered on her face
I swept her up into my hands ‘cause no one else could see
She’d been hanging ‘round these cafes just waiting to be received.

Oh, Leann, what’s wrong with your mind this time?

I told her not to get involved with a guy like me
I’ve got the reputation of the affection’s thief
She didn’t pay me any mind as she leaned in deep
It was then I thought that it was she who should have warned me
We spent our night under each other’s eaves
Talking ‘bout the things that meant so much to she and me
She had all she really needs and I told her many times
With her two feet on the ground, I joked, she’d be leaving me behind

Oh, Leann, what’s wrong with your mind this time?

As the weeks they went on
I could see she was fading fast
The clutch in her grip was gone
That’s when I knew….

I took her to her doorstep the stones cold with fallen leaves
The lines in her face were gone ‘cause she was staring at her feet
She looked up at me through the dark rings streaming down her eyes
She held my chin, kissed my lips, turned and didn’t say goodnight

Oh, Leann, what’s wrong with your mind this time?
Are you hopeful it will forget your face in time?
Oh, Leann, what’s wrong with your mind this time?
Are you hopeful it will fall to your lap this time?

I found her in a photograph in a fashion magazine
And I swore as I turned the page she was winking back at me
