Thanksgiving (for Elliott Smith)
What are you doing?I'm writing a songShe says "I'm going to a movie, do you want to come?"It's not that easy you are far from meShould I go to youShould you come to me?Then the sun goes down on the Williamsburg BridgeAnd if I'm lonesome then it's nothing that nobody ever didA girl walks home with her grocery bagsLike the weight that is inside them is too much for her to bearAnd a family struggles to a photographLike they need something to prove that they were really thereAnd the cars pass me by on Bedford Avenue andI'm wondering how I'm supposed to do what Elliott Smith couldn't do'Cause the cars all sleep in the parking lotWith a blanket of snow and their motors offAnd it takes courage that I haven't gotAnd I hope some day I'll have a lotA kid comes home from college on Thanksgiving breakWhere families fit inside picture framesThat hangs next to mirrors in front entrywaysSo when they leave they always, always will remainSo when they leave they always will remain
