Jennifer by Damien Jurado Lyrics

I was the north wind inhabiting
You were a falling chair
I wrote your name down and kept at arms length
Loving you from afar
I hadn't been in a car yet
Hearing the world through your eyes
Wanting the front yard to notice
I have no recollection of them

Sister and I were alone in my room
When we got word of the fight
They didn't catch him
I dreamt of his face, loving him from afar
I hadn't been in his arms yet
Hearing the world through his eyes
Wanting the front door to notice
I have no recollections of rain


I was in love once and I knew not his face
Or from where he had flown
Captured in storm clouds at times, with my song he would know that I was home
He'd come to see me in the morning, outside my window he'd sing
I knew myself once but not anymore
