Sun Kil Moon - With A Sort Of Grace I Walked To The Bathroom To Cry lyrics

My friend Teresa, she's been in a lot of pain Was there recently, had took up all the space in my brain She lives there, by a cornfield [?] it was the medication she took to get herself in debt We got in the car and we, we drove around Ohio roads that were flooded with rain on the ground We got in the car and we, we drove around “Teaser and the Firecat” and “Tea For the Tillerman” were in the background When I was a kid, I kept toads and garter snakes In the window well and they drowned when it rained Before the snow came down in the winter I dug a hole for my box turtle to hibernate In the Spring I'd come and get it I took a picture near a red fire hydrant near an old barn Then we had [?] north Canada That night we watched {?} on Jimmy Fallon I went to sleep on her couch while she walked off to her bedroom And I kissed her goodnight And I looked in her eyes With a sort of grace I walked to the toilet to cry Remember when we were just young? Just young, young little kids Before the heaviness of life took over every f**ing thing Cause remember when we were just young? Young, young little kids Playing the Ouija board on the yellow card table in her mother's basement When I'm walking down the Ohio roads I remember all the turtles and snakes and frogs and toads [?] [?] f**ing headache And as I walk around the block that you live on I see poetry in every inch of it I see lightning bugs flicker in the darkness And the overgrown weeds and houses bein' foreclosed on And I walk over to the church at the intersection Fluorescent blue painted handicap parking spaces And at the side of the road I see a dead groundhog laying on its back And I walk over to him and there's another groundhog nearby in the weeds Breathing fast like he's having a panic attack My friend Teresa she's been in so much pain When I visit her, I do my best not to b**h and complain So we goof around, I can tell her dumb jokes But underneath it all, I've got a numb fear deep in my bones Cause someone I love is so sick and so tired and weak Wanna make her laugh cause things have been so goddamn f**in' bleak But I'm here to give her my love when and while I can Cause I gotta go back to work like any other working man Went out tonight and I got her Kraus' pizza Anything I could do for my beloved friend Teresa And I got her a brand new bag [?] So f** that, I went to the f**in store and picked it up with my dad I love you, love you, love you, love you Teresa I'm really sorry I gotta, gotta leave you I always knew you wanted [?] [?] When I close my eyes and you see [?] And as I walk around the block you live on It smells so much like our childhood It smells so much like our old neighborhood I remember when I first heard Led Zepplin's "Tea For One" Laying by my bedroom window [?] soakin' up the warm afternoon sun ray And in those minutes, hours, I was totally content And I'll take that memory to my grave as one of my happiest moments And I remember you swimming at Turkeyfoot Me and my dad were up in his fishing boat Tossing our lines out onto the lake With the minnow bucket hanging by a stringer off the edge of the boat And I remember watching the bobbers waiting for a ba** to take the bait And I remember your big happy smile While you were wading out there in the water And that smile still graces your face And the faces of your beautiful young daughters
