about

*Tim would like it to be known that he wrote these lyrics when he was 18, "thereby excusing their ungreatness."

lyrics

a letter in progress
signifying an end
my epiphany
farewell phrased logically

will she understand
(I thought I saw him yesterday)
when she reads the last words from a friend
(couldn't bring myself to turn around his way)
never to meet again
(what would I, what would I say anyway?)
unless by manufactured coincidence

a letter in progress
signifying an end
label me a memory
farewell phrased logically

will she understand
(how dare he turn his back to me?)
when she reads the last words from a friend
(but he said he would, said he would, said he'd leave)
never to meet again
(never to, never to meet again)
unless by manufactured coincidence

remember when I said
(well I remember, I remember, I remember it differently)
the stars, they shine for you
(I didn't need anyone to lead me)
well look how bright those are that still do
(shinin' brighter than ever now, brighter than ever now)
cause I am not your star

"Rochester's Gin & Bonnets play a fervent blend of folk-rock that rests at nothing to both inspire and engage. At times deeply political; at others sheer exuberance. " -Tim Avery
