Ballad In Open D by Timothy Seth Avett As Darling Lyrics

Loneliness is not something that I'm used to
Loneliness is not something that I'm used to
But sleeping well is just something that I used to do
And making love is just something that I used to do

Well, I tried to fill my empty nights with drinking
I'm going to keep on trying to fill them up with drinking
Anything to keep my boat from sinking
Anything to keep my head from thinking

Well, there might be something that she wants for me to give her
Lord, there might be something that she wants for me to give her
Like maybe some clothes or jewelry that she left here
Well, I'd give her things back gladly, but I can't 'cause I threw them in a river

I keep my windows open in the summer
And I keep my windows open in the springtime
And I keep my windows open in the winter
I'm gonna keep my doorway open come this autumn

Well, you weren't surprised when I told you I was dying
You laughed and "Yes darling, but who isn't?"
Well, there's got to be something that I'm missing
Well, it's hard to keep your vision when your heart treats your memory like a prison
Well, I've had to teach myself not to adore ya
Well, I've had to teach myself not to adore ya
'cause everything has changed since the morning
That we awoke and left the mountains of California
